Message from Lora Pope

Bell Island is a charming island in Conception Bay known for its stunning cliffs and unique rock formations. With a population of over 2,000 residents, the island was once a bustling mining hub for iron ore from 1895 to 1966, playing a significant role in the Allied war effort during World War II. Since the decline of mining, Bell Island has shifted towards tourism, attracting visitors with its natural beauty, mining history, and intriguing shipwrecks.
