About Witless Bay
The town
Witless Bay is a town on the Southern Shore of the Avalon Peninsula, on Route 10 about 30 minutes south of St. John's, with about 1,640 people in 2021 on roughly 18 km². Migratory fishermen worked the harbour from the late 1600s, and Irish fishing servants who settled through the 1700s soon outnumbered the English; the town was incorporated in 1986. Most homes sit on their own lots with private wells and septic systems, spread along back roads such as Track Road and Gallows Cove Road. The town has a primary/elementary school and runs the regional volunteer fire department. Town council issues development permits under its Municipal Plan and Development Regulations, which fall under the St. John's Urban Region Regional Plan; septic systems must meet Service NL rules. The nearest 24-hour emergency departments are at the Health Sciences Centre and St. Clare's Mercy Hospital in St. John's.
Around it
Land beyond the built-up roads is zoned Rural, for farming, forestry, recreation and conservation, and a house there is allowed only alongside a use such as farming or forestry. Near Long Pond, a corner of the St. John's regional water supply area is zoned Watershed, where no development is allowed. Offshore, the four islands of the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve hold North America's largest Atlantic puffin colony; landing needs a permit, so visitors see them from tour boats. The East Coast Trail's 7.1 km Beaches Path runs from Witless Bay to Mobile. St. John's International is the nearest airport with scheduled flights.
