Beachside is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, in Notre Dame Bay.

The community of Beachside, once known as Brookside and Wild Bight, was settled in the 19th century, when the mine opened in Little Bay.

The community is placed on the west side of the cove at the Bight's bottom, where there is a broad, rocky beach.

Often one can gaze out over Backcove Hill and see huge masses of ice, in many spectacular shapes, floating across the bay.

This area is lush, colorful and beautiful in summer when the flowers are in bloom and the sea is aquamarine, calm and serene.

The fishermen traded their catches to nearby Little Bay Islands where their families attended the Methodist church.

In the mid-1920s younger men left to work on the construction of the pulp and paper mill at Corner Brook, and later as loggers.

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro provides the community with electricity, and its source of power is the Springdale Terminal Station.

There are no banks, financial institutions or insurance companies in Beachside but residents have access to these facilities in Springdale.

Fire Departments in Little Bay and Springdale are contacted as well to provide more adequate firefighting capabilities.
