Shalloway is a locality in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shalloway is located at 47.0031°N, 55.1711°W.

Shalloway rests where the land begins to yield to the vast, restless Atlantic, a settlement cradled by rolling hills that descend towards the sea. It lies 8.9 km south of Burin, NL (from Burin, NL: bearing 178°T), and is situated 15.8 km south of Creston. The air here, even on a calm day, carries a bracing salinity, a constant whisper of the ocean's immensity. Moss-covered rocks, smoothed by countless tides, punctuate the coastline, and the dominant greens of hardy spruce and fir cling to the inclines, their branches often bowed by the persistent winds. In the quiet hours, the only sounds are the distant cries of gulls and the rhythmic sigh of waves, a natural symphony that underscores the raw, untamed beauty of this Newfoundland landscape. The history of Shalloway is deeply intertwined with the bounty and challenges of the sea, its economy long anchored by fishing fleets that once sailed these rich waters. Though the days of massive cod catches have receded, a resilient spirit persists, with some still tending lobster pots and others finding new livelihoods in tourism, drawn by the very ruggedness that defines this place. The faint scent of woodsmoke often drifts from chimneys, a comforting reminder of hearth and home, and the island's unique vernacular can be heard in the easy laughter and ready conversation of its people. Shalloway, with its stoic charm and enduring connection to the ocean, offers a glimpse into a way of life shaped by the elements and the unwavering strength of its inhabitants.
