McCallum is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

[2] It is accessible only by boat or by air, and in appearance and way of life is thought by some to be as close to a pre-20th century community as may be found.

The provincial government runs a ferry service to McCallum from the nearby town of Hermitage, about an hour and a half away by boat, where the nearest road is located.

It was during this time that Captain James Cook was appointed marine surveyor of Newfoundland, and mapped out in detail the coastline and waters around McCallum to create a boundary for where the French were still allowed to fish.

[16] McCallum has a public wharf, a fire department, a bed-and-breakfast, local internet access,[18] a passenger ferry service to Hermitage (where the nearest road is located), and distance education facilities.

There are now more than four ATV's used for various jobs in the community, such as garbage pickup, hauling freight, and bringing groceries to the shop.
