Admirals Beach

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.
