Division No. 3, Subd. J places you amid the raw beauty of the Coast of Bays, where sheltered coves, dramatic headlands, and deep inlets shape daily life and weekend adventures. Residents enjoy easy access to essentials and services in nearby communities like Harbour Breton, Hermitage-Sandyville, Belleoram, and the ferry-served outport of Gaultois, each offering its own rhythm of festivals, fishing heritage, and community gatherings.
Outdoors, the region rewards curiosity. Set up camp or launch a paddle at the serene Jipujijkuei Kuespem Provincial Park, then watch for whales, seabirds, and—some springs—passing icebergs along the coast. Marine links are part of the local story, and the Hermitage–Gaultois–McCallum ferry keeps remote communities connected for work, school, and supplies.
Families appreciate a tight-knit education network, with regional schools such as Bay d’Espoir Academy, John Watkins Academy, and Fitzgerald Academy serving area students, while health needs are supported at the Connaigre Peninsula Health Centre in Harbour Breton. The regional economy blends fisheries and aquaculture with energy, anchored by the Bay d’Espoir Generating Facility, and the slower pace leaves room for boating, berry picking, and community volunteerism.
