Burnt Islands is a small coastal community found in God Bay on the southwest coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The countryside consists largely of bogs and marshes with many species of plant and animal life native to Newfoundland being present.

[citation needed] In 1968 the first fish processing plant was started by Eric King fisheries, employing a large number of the towns residents and continuing to do so to the present day.

In 1991, Alan Handel Productions and the National Film Board of Canada produced the documentary A Passage from Burnt Islands, about education and literacy in this community.

From Port aux Basques, known as the Gateway to Newfoundland, Burnt Islands is linked by the Marine Atlantic ferries to Nova Scotia and mainland Canada.
