New World Island

New World Island is an island in Notre Dame Bay off the northeastern coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It comprises a number of small coastal communities and rural shorelines.

Coastal scenery, fishing harbours and local services are the primary attractions; the island provides access to sea-based wildlife viewing and marine activities. The area is used for both commercial fishing and tourism linked to the broader Notre Dame Bay region.

The island has long been settled by fishing and coastal communities and has developed around maritime industries and local services. Infrastructure such as causeways and roads have been built to link the island to the Newfoundland road network.

New World Island lies within Notre Dame Bay and is connected to the main island of Newfoundland by a causeway and provincial roadway. It is near the Twillingate area and forms part of the northeastern coastal landscape of Newfoundland.

• Road access: Connected to the main island of Newfoundland by a causeway and road, making it accessible by car from the island's road network.
