Tucked along the rugged northern coastline of Newfoundland, Birchy Bay is a community where tradition runs deep and nature is always close at hand. This small yet spirited town sits along the inner reaches of Notre Dame Bay, a place where time slows, and the land, sea, and sky stretch out in peaceful harmony. Once shaped by the pulse of the logging industry, Birchy Bay carries the legacy of hard work and resilience in every root and ripple.
The town’s history is told through the stories of its people—generations of Newfoundlanders who carved a life from the forest and the bay, harvesting timber and fishing the bountiful waters. Today, while the old mills may be quiet, the heart of Birchy Bay beats just as strong. Locals are proud stewards of their land, creating a life of quiet simplicity, deep connection, and unshakable community.
Surrounded by pristine wilderness, Birchy Bay offers access to walking trails, ATV routes, and the nearby shores that draw anglers and boaters alike. The annual Come Home Year and other community events are infused with heartfelt hospitality and the unmistakable warmth of rural Newfoundland.
In Birchy Bay, neighbors are family, and strangers are greeted with a smile. There’s a reverence here—for the natural world, for the stories of the past, and for the sense of peace that only small-town living can bring. With its tranquil setting, rich history, and deeply rooted community, Birchy Bay invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and feel at home.
