Belfry is a locality in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a town. Belfry is located at 53.7086°N, 57.0088°W.

Belfry nestles on a rugged coastline, where the land rises and falls in a series of rounded, ancient hills, cloaked in a dense, dark green of spruce and fir. It lies 3.0 km west-north-west of Cartwright, NL (from Cartwright, NL: bearing 303°T), and is situated 15.0 km south of Dumpling Harbour. The air here carries the constant, briny tang of the North Atlantic, sharp and invigorating, and the light, especially in the late afternoon, has a peculiar, pearlescent quality, as if filtered through a thousand sea-mists. Small, sturdy houses, painted in cheerful blues and reds, cling to the slopes, their windows facing the vast expanse of grey-blue water that stretches to an unseen horizon. The terrain is a mosaic of rocky outcrops, boggy hollows, and patches of tough, wind-battered grass, a landscape that demands resilience from both nature and the people who call it home. The history of Belfry is deeply entwined with the sea, a narrative whispered in the creak of weathered wharves and the calls of gulls circling overhead. For generations, the economy of Belfry has been sustained by the bounty of the ocean, with fishing boats, their hulls painted with stories of distant catches, bobbing in the sheltered harbour. Beyond the fishing, the landscape itself, with its mineral-rich veins, has seen sporadic mining activity over the years, leaving behind scars that the resilient vegetation slowly reclaims. Local traditions are strong, rooted in the shared experience of enduring the elements and celebrating the small victories of life, often expressed through lively music sessions in the local hall, where tales of the sea and the land are passed down through song and story.
