Daniel's Harbour, while considered a
Mining Town for some fifteen years, remains a traditional Newfoundland
fishing community, with a natural rock wall protecting the small harbour.
The community is encompassed by natural attractions, with interesting and
beautiful beaches on one side, and breathtaking scenery offered by the
Long Range Mountains on the other. An area of opportunity for the
beachcomber, hiker, sightseer, or photographer.
Daniel's Harbour bursts with pride, being the
home of Nurse Myra Bennett and "Uncle" Rufus Guinchard. The
services of Nurse Bennett made her world famous, and her home and
artifacts remain in Daniel's Harbour as evidence of this. The Traditional
Newfoundland music "Uncle" Rufus produced on his fiddle reached the world
over when he honoured countries in Europe, and as far away as Japan, with
his visits.
