Burnt Islands rewards residents and newcomers with sea-level living where working wharves, colorful stages, and easy access to services shape everyday life. Set along the Granite Coast on Route 470, it’s an effortless drive to ferry connections, groceries, and healthcare in Channel-Port aux Basques, with friendly neighbouring communities like Isle aux Morts and Rose Blanche–Harbour le Cou close by. Outdoorsy days are a given: watch for whales and seabirds along the shoreline, cast a line from the government wharf, or plan a beach day and coastal hike at J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park. For bigger-city amenities, road trips to Corner Brook put regional shopping, arts, and dining within reach.
Families appreciate practical schooling options. Younger students typically attend LeGallais Memorial in nearby Isle aux Morts, while older learners head to St. James Regional High in Port aux Basques; post-secondary and upskilling are supported through the College of the North Atlantic – Port aux Basques Campus. Travel is straightforward: the Marine Atlantic terminal in Port aux Basques offers year-round ferry service to Nova Scotia, and the Trans-Canada Highway links the coast to the rest of the island.
Whether you’re drawn by the salt air, a quieter pace, or a close-knit harbour community, Burnt Islands makes daily life feel uncomplicated.
