Planning Your Visit
Woody Point is located on Bonne Bay in the heart of Gros Morne National Park, approximately a 45-minute drive from Deer Lake airport. Deer Lake can be reached directly from Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and St John’s.
In the summer tourist season, both airline seats and rental cars are at a premium. If you’re coming, please plan to book early.
There are accommodations on the Woody Point side of the bay, but many of those are booked long before the summer – often a full year in advance. But if you can’t find a room or a rental house in the village, you might try the nearby communities of Trout River, Shoal Brook, Birchy Head, Glenburnie and Lomond, all within a fifteen or twenty minute drive of the Heritage Theatre. Or alternately you could stay across the bay in Norris Point or Rocky Harbour. There is a pedestrian water taxi from Norris Point to Woody Point which makes the trip several times a day, including sailings timed to the beginning and end of our evening shows during Writers at Woody Point and Comedy at Woody Point.
In addition to the usual vacation rental websites, the government of Newfoundland & Labrador also maintains a list of accommodations in the Gros Morne Area.
