Come to Dildo for the Selfie But Stay for Good, Clean Fun

They’ve heard all the tiresome jokes. They roll their eyes at people taking selfies at the road signs. Dildonians—the proud people of Dildo in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada—say get over the provocative name and come visit for some good, clean fun, like drinking new craft beer, rowing a dory, or listening to the unofficial anthem about the time one local dared petition for a new name.

But let’s deal with the name first.

Dildo was not named for a sex toy. Then again, the story of who named Dildo and why has been lost to history, so theories abound in this picture-perfect outport community of 1,100 that was built on fishing, whaling and sealing and boasts typically colorful homes neatly spread out along the ocean about an hour’s drive from the capital city of St. John’s.
