Welcome to the weary traveler. Here you will find the community names that this site is dedicated. You will find picturesque scenery, attractive parks, fabulous sport fishing. Enjoy! ConceptionBay discovered 1500 by Gaspard de Cortereal. A brave Portuguese, discovered the northeast coast of Newfoundland and named all the principal bays and head lands and made charts from his discoveries. Conception Bay includes Bell Island, Little Bell Island and Kelly's Island.
Avondale where you can picnic and view the quaint countryside.
Bell Island named for an offshore rock. Bell Island offers a panoramic view of the entire Conception Bay area.Cape St. Francis is found on the earliest maps in existence, chartered in 1527. Gasper Corte Real perhaps bestowed the name on his voyage in 1501. Manuels has a personal touch. It was my birthplace. William and John Smith were brothers, William being my forefather.
