Where We Are
Burlington is located in the central area of Newfoundland, the easternmost province of Canada. Like most communities in Newfoundland, it is situated next to the water, an "outport community" as termed by Newfoundlanders. This is, like any such community, due to the way of life which supported Burlington for most of its history, which is almost entirely built around the sea. As mentioned above, Burlington is located in the Baie Verte penisula, which is in the center of Newfoundland, along its northern side. It is, in many ways, typical of outport communities, but also has a unique history and distinct character today. To reach Burlington from the Trans Canada Highway near the center of Newfoundland, exit onto highway 410, which heads toward Baie Verte. Turning off highway 410 onto highway 413, and after about 23km, you'll reach Burlington.
