Amherst Cove is a Canadian community in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

[1] Located on the Bonavista Peninsula, the community was founded prior to 1864.

Fishing is or was the major industry and the nearest port of entry was nine miles away in Bonavista.

The loss of the fishery in Newfoundland due to the cod moratorium in 1992 has had a severe impact on the population of Amherst Cove.

Today, only a few families remain in this tiny coastal community.
