About location

The landscape around Dunn's River Hill is rolling, largely forested upland on Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This is a sparsely settled part of the peninsula, where a two-lane provincial road crosses low ridges, scrub and open ground rather than an urban centre. The road forms part of the overland network linking communities with larger service towns. Along the coast, Burin Peninsula settlements were historically tied to the inshore fishery; inland stretches such as Dunn's River Hill reveal the wooded terrain between them. Rencontre East belongs to Newfoundland and Labrador, a province whose communities and transport routes remain closely connected to the coast.

City Rencontre East

Rencontre East is best known within Newfoundland and Labrador for being a roadless, ferry-served outport on Bay d’Espoir. Set on Newfoundland’s south coast, it belongs to a shore where islands, coves and forested inlets shape everyday travel as much as roads do elsewhere. Regular marine service links the community with other settlements along the coast, underlining its enduring connection to the sea. Fishing remains central to the local story, reflecting traditions shared by many south-coast outports. This is a small, remote place rather than a conventional resort, with the rhythm of weather, boats and the Atlantic close at hand.

Region Newfoundland and Labrador

Among Canada’s regions, Newfoundland and Labrador stands apart for its far-reaching North Atlantic coastline and the meeting of the island of Newfoundland with mainland Labrador. The province faces the Labrador Sea to the northeast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence along its western and southern reaches; its terrain ranges from exposed shores and barrens to forests, lakes and the Labrador Plateau. Gros Morne National Park, on Newfoundland’s west coast, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for geology that exposes deep sections of Earth’s crust. Inuit, Innu and Mi’kmaq communities are integral to the province’s living cultures, alongside outport traditions shaped by the cod fishery.

Country Canada

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
