About Bay Bulls  

Bay Bulls is a vibrant, growing and family-oriented community of 1200 people situated on the Southern Shore of the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador. Just a 25 minute drive from downtown St. John’s (Newfoundland and Labrador’s capital city), Bay Bulls is one of those rare places that manages to maintain a small town feel yet provides easy access to a metropolitan center.  

The tourism sector plays an important role in the community and some 25,000 people visit us every year to sail on tour boats, kayak or simply hike the numerous trails in the region. The much prized deep and sheltered harbour has been the site of numerous marine conflicts and pitched battles which can be attested to by the shipwrecks at the bottom of our bay and the canons on our headlands. The secret seems to be getting out and Bay Bulls is rapidly becoming a tourism hotspot for people wishing to experience pristine seascapes as well as icebergs, seabirds and whales in season.

Bay Bulls was originally founded more than 400 years ago to accommodate the fishery and the fishing industry still plays an important role in the local economy today. The Town has also diversified over the past several decades to the point where local businesses now provide valuable agricultural, manufacturing, industrial and marine supply services to key global clients. Our safe harbour’s close proximity to international trade routes and offshore oil and gas fields have Bay Bulls well positioned to continue taking advantage of future opportunities. Indeed this is a 'must see' place with much potential yet to be realized.
