White Bear Bay

White Bear Bay is natural bay on the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.[1] The Ramea islands are south of the bay.[2] The bay is filled with fjords, valleys and massive waterfalls which makes it a well known tourist spot. Many people own cabins in the bay to temporarily live there.

White Bear Bay was also the name of a now abandoned community within the bay. It was settled by the early 1800s and abandoned after 1901.[3][4]
