Admirals Beach is a rural community located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Previously spelled Admiral's Beach, it is a fishing port located on the island of Newfoundland; specifically it is along a point of land in the southern Avalon Peninsula near Great Colinet Island fronting St. Mary's Bay.
Good fishing grounds and a sheltered cove attracted the first settlers to the area.
The community grew over the years until a large population came from Great Colinet Island during the resettlement programme of 1956.
[1][2] Although the majority of its residents were fishermen, Admirals Beach also had two ship building yards where fishing boats and longliners were built with supplies from local sawmills.
