The community of Tors Cove is a friendly residential community located 42 kilometers south of St. John's along Route 10 on The Irish Loop. Nestled into a scenic and sheltered harbour, Tors Cove was another stopping point for visiting migratory fishermen in the late 17th century. Its name is believed to be derived from an old English word for 'fox', and it was indeed the English themselves who are counted among the first to take up year-round residence here.
Today, while many residents still rely on the fishing industry for employment, others are plying their skills in new areas, including the province's growing oil and gas industry. But no matter where they chose to work, be it in Tors Cove, a neighbouring community, St. John's, or even further afield, everyone here has at least one thing in common - they all choose the casual lifestyle and inspiring landscapes of Tors Cove to call home.
A growing community with a strong community spirit, the folks in Tors Cove invite you to consider a new home here.
Attractions:
Whale and Bird Watching
Icebergs
World-class Hiking on the East Coast Trail
Sport Fishing and Hunting
Berry Picking
Nearby Lamanche Provincial Park (camping, swimming)
