Admirals Beach is a rural community located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Previously spelled Admiral's Beach, it is a fishing port located on the island of Newfoundland; specifically it is along a point of land in the southern Avalon Peninsula near Great Colinet Island fronting St. Mary's Bay.

The community was incorporated in January 1968.

## Geography

[edit]

Good fishing grounds and a sheltered cove attracted the first settlers to the area. The town is part of Division 1 and is bounded by St. Mary's Bay and the unorganized area Subdivision W. Nearby communities include St. Joseph's, Riverhead and St. Mary's.

## History

[edit]

Admirals Beach was first settled in the early nineteenth century by a French admiral. In 1864 there were three families living there. By 1911 it had a Post Office and a population of 39. The community grew over the years until a large population came from Great Colinet Island during the resettlement programme of 1956. Its population in the 2016 Census was 135.[2]

## Demographics

[edit]

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Admirals Beach had a population of 97 living in 48 of its 76 total private dwellings, a change of -28.1% from its 2016 population of 135. With a land area of 24.2 km2 (9.3 sq mi), it had a population density of 4.0/km2 (10.4/sq mi) in 2021.[1][2]

## Economy

[edit]

Although the majority of its residents were fishermen, Admirals Beach also had two ship building yards where fishing boats and longliners were built with supplies from local sawmills.
