Dildo Island Tour Packages

[Old Fart]

Dildo was founded in the early 1800s due to the abundance of marine resources such as fish, whales, and seals.

The town has a fast-growing tourist industry. It offers picturesque scenery, several bed and breakfasts, the Dildo Museum interpretive centre, the Historic Dildo Days celebration in August, the First Cod Hatchery in the province on Dildo Island, and a replica of a Giant Squid caught in Dildo in 1933. Dildo won the Harrowsmith Magazine Award in 2001 as One of the Ten Prettiest Small Towns in Canada.

The town's name has attracted certain amounts of attention. The name may derive from a place name in Spain or Portugal; the name of a tree; or the shape of the headland

No one can say with any firmness when and why Dildo acquired its name, but there are plenty of theories to choose from. Some say Dildo was named after a Spanish sailor of the same name who sailed the waters of the area. Others claim Dildo Bay was named after a ship’s part, a long metal cylinder. Still, others assert that Dildo, Nfld., is named for a certain species of cactus, the Dildo-Pear Tree, found only in the Caribbean. Still others hold to the theory that Dildo was named after an archaic term for a song’s chorus. The word is used that way by Shakespeare in A Winter’s Tale, Act 4, Scene 4: “...with such delicate burdens of dildos and fadings.”
