Bell Island
About
Bell Island in Newfoundland covers the island of that name, with its mailing address given as Bell Island, Terranova y Labrador A0A 4H0, Canada. The listing is a destination entry rather than a single business, with 46 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5.
Visitors should expect a small island community shaped by its mining and fishing past, reached by ferry from the Newfoundland mainland. St John's is the nearest major city, while Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Twillingate, Bonavista, Trinity and Gros Morne lie further afield across Newfoundland.
English is the main language, with French in parts of PEI and Nova Scotia and Inuktitut in Nunavut's islands. Moose are common on Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island has red foxes, snowshoe hares and blue jays. Fishing, sealing and shipbuilding shaped island communities, and Celtic music survives in Cape Breton and Newfoundland.
Northern Canadian islands have a short growing season and long sea-ice winters, with months of darkness, though Bell Island sits well south of that zone. Plan around the ferry schedule and the weather rather than a fixed itinerary.
