The town is located in Conception Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador near the extreme end of the Bay de Verde Peninsula or what is known today as "The Baccalieu Trail". It is the northernmost community in Conception Bay and has a base population of approximately 400 residents. The central part of our picturesque fishing village is nestled between two hills. On both sides, the low-lying area gently slopes towards the ocean. On the southwestern side is the harbour (called the "foreside") where fishing boats are moored - away from the land and wharfs.
