Hare Bay rests in a cupped hollow of the Bonavista Peninsula, where the land folds in to embrace the sea. It lies 14.9 km east-north-east of Gambo, NL (from Gambo, NL: bearing 62°T), and is situated 18.7 km north of Glovertown. The surrounding hills, softened by a persistent mist that often clings to their rounded shoulders, are carpeted in a rough, resilient scrub and the stoic dark green of spruce. Down near the water's edge, the terrain breaks into a rugged shoreline of dark, barnacle-encrusted rocks and small, pebbly coves. The air here carries a keen, salty tang, a constant reminder of the Atlantic’s proximity, and the light, especially in the late afternoon, can cast a pale, silvery glow across the water, transforming the ordinary into something quietly luminous. The houses, clustered close as if for shared warmth against the wind, are painted in bright, defiant colours that stand out against the muted landscape, their windows facing out towards the ever-present expanse of sea. The history of Hare Bay is etched into the very rhythm of its tides and the sturdy timber of its fishing boats. For generations, the bounty of the ocean has been the lifeblood of this place, shaping its economy and the resilient character of its people. The small harbour, a natural shelter carved by the sea's patient work, still sees the comings and goings of vessels, though the methods of fishing have evolved from the hand-lining of earlier days. While the cod stocks may have shifted, the spirit of self-reliance and hard work remains a defining feature of Hare Bay. Echoes of past hardships and triumphs can be felt in the weathered faces of its long-time residents, who possess a quiet pride in their enduring connection to this windswept corner of the island.
