Once a historic fishing village, it is now a part of the city of St John's. The former fish plant is now home to Quidi Vidi Brewery. The lake of the same name is the site of the Royal St John's Regatta, held every August, the regatta is one of the oldest sporting events in North America, featuring fixed-seat rowing races and a huge garden party.
Not a lot of Q's but we do have:
Quarry, Queen's Cove, Quiller, Quirpon
