Point May sits at the far southern tip of the Burin Peninsula, where the Atlantic horizon is wide, the air is salt-bright, and life follows the tides. Walkable lanes lead to working stages and wharves, and spring and summer bring seabirds, capelin, and the occasional whale rolling just offshore. A quick run to Fortune connects you to the French archipelago via the year-round SPM Ferries service, making weekend cross-border escapes surprisingly easy.
Outdoorsy residents find no shortage of day-trip targets. The globally significant Fortune Head Ecological Reserve showcases the geologic record that defines the base of the Cambrian Period, with interpretive trails and cliff-top views. In Grand Bank, the Provincial Seamen’s Museum tells the region’s seafaring story inside a striking, sails-inspired building. Quiet coves and coastal barrens around Point May reward photographers and birders, while nearby Lamaline offers additional shoreline access and small-town amenities.
Families appreciate the supportive scale of the community. Students typically attend regional schools in neighboring towns under the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, with daily bus routes and extracurriculars that draw kids from across the peninsula. Everyday needs are met locally or in short drives to larger service hubs, while community events—whether a kitchen party, a charity auction, or a cod supper—keep calendars full and neighbors connected.
