Bonavista Bay

The topography of the central western shore of the bay is composed of numerous channels and islands.

Containing many densely forested islands, Bonavista Bay is virtually landlocked.

However, due to the dense forestry, the region inside the bay can sometimes be warm enough for lobster cultivation.

[1] The smaller communities in Newfoundland may often be referenced by the Bay in which they are located, e.g.: 'Wesleyville, BB'.

The bay has a small ferry operated by the provincial government providing service from Burnside to St. Brendan's on Cottel's Island.
