About Arnold's Cove



The People...
  We are a friendly people with a unique heritage and a rich culture. many families were resettled here from other nearby communities in Placentia bay in the 1960's bringing with them an abundance of talents, skills, and ideas.
The Place...
  Arnold's Cove is an active, prosperous, growing community strategically located on the isthmus of the Avalon Peninsula.
We have long been known as the Economic Hub of the Isthmus, and service centre for the people of the Avalon region. All traffic traveling the Trans-Canada highway on and off the avalon peninsula must pass by our doorstep and because of our proximity to the highway we are virtually sitting on a direct route to St. John's (the Provinces Capital) which is only an hour and a half's drive away.

We are also home to several excellent natural treasures. The Bordeaux Hiking trail, the whale watching area's, our bird sanctuary, and the beautiful costal scenery are all woven into the fabric of our town.
The Prosperity...
  We are clearly the gateway to Placentia Bay in terms of shipping and refining, the fishing industry, boat charters or for just revisiting resettled communities. The three ports near Arnold's Cove are among the deepest natural ports in the world. The Bull Arm Construction site, the North Atlantic Refining Ltd. oil refinery and the Newfoundland Transshipment Terminal are all within arms reach. We are situated only one hour's drive from the Argentia Ferry to Nova Scotia. Arnold's Cove's population, industry, and commerce are in a state of steady growth making it truely a community in bloom.
