Renews–Cappahayden is a small fishing town on the southern shore of Newfoundland, 83 kilometres (52 mi) south of St. John's.

Around 1617, Governor Richard Whitbourne moved six remaining colonists to Renews, but they had left by 1619.

According to a popular local legend (unsubstantiated[2][3][4][5]), the Mayflower landed at Renews in 1620, where it picked up water and supplies before sailing on to Plymouth Rock.

Cappahayden, once called Broad Cove, can date inhabitants located there in the late 18th century.

[6] Just south of Cappahayden is the site of the tragic sinking of the SS Florizel at Horn Head Point (46°50′56″N 52°56′20″W / 46.84889°N 52.93889°W / 46.84889; -52.93889), near Chance Cove Park.
