Main image

South Dildo is a small coastal community on the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is one of several closely named settlements in the area and forms part of the local rural coastal landscape.

The community is residential and maritime in character, with local roads connecting it to neighbouring settlements. There are no large built tourist attractions within the settlement itself; activities in the area are typically linked to coastal life and nearby towns.

South Dildo developed as a local fishing and coastal settlement typical of Newfoundland’s outport communities; it does not have a separate founding institution or large historic complex.

The community lies on the eastern coast of Newfoundland, adjacent to the community of Dildo and within the island’s coastal network of small towns and coves.
