Conception Bay Waterfront
The Avalon's historic bay — 50 km of colourful fishing towns from Conception Bay South to Carbonear and Brigus, minutes from St. John's.
Overview
The Avalon's storied bay
Conception Bay indents the north coast of the Avalon Peninsula for about 50 km, lined with some of Newfoundland's oldest communities — Conception Bay South near St. John's, then Brigus, Cupids (the first English settlement, founded 1610), Harbour Grace and Carbonear, the 'Hub of the Bay.'
Colourful homes climb the rocky coves, and the bay has been a fishing and seafaring heartland for over four centuries.

Coastal living near the capital
This is the most accessible saltwater waterfront in the province — Conception Bay South is essentially a St. John's suburb, while the historic north-shore towns offer heritage charm a short drive away.
Waterfront ranges from CBS commuter homes to heritage saltbox houses and coves in Brigus, Carbonear and beyond — among the more sought-after waterfront in Newfoundland.
