Quidi Vidi

Quidi Vidi is a small coastal village and neighbourhood in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, centered on a sheltered harbour and traditional fishing activity.

The village contains narrow lanes and rows of vernacular coastal houses clustered around a working harbour, with small craft businesses, pubs, and galleries along the waterfront. The harbour area is the focal point for views, boat activity, and shoreline access.

Quidi Vidi developed as a long-established fishing settlement and has retained much of its small-village character despite being within the municipal boundaries of St. John’s. Many buildings and harbour structures reflect its maritime past.

The village sits on the eastern side of St. John’s harbour on the Avalon Peninsula, within the city of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
