How to Use This Shoal Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Shoal Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

Drag the map to pan to any area of Newfoundland and Labrador or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Shoal Cove and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Shoal Cove.

Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

About Shoal Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

Shoal Cove is a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shoal Cove is located at 51.3500°N, 56.6490°W.

Shoal Cove occupies a stark, bracing stretch of the Atlantic coast where the salt air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that defines the horizon. It lies 26.0 km south-east of Forteau, NL (from Forteau, NL: bearing 127°T), and is situated 1.2 km east of St. Barbe North Sandy Cove. The land here is defined by its rugged proximity to The Battery, offering a vantage point where the light at dusk turns the water into a bruised, shifting slate. Inland, the terrain reaches toward Eastern Lake, situated about 14 km away, while the East River winds through the interior landscape some 17 km distant. Beyond the immediate rocky shoreline, the vastness of the region is punctuated by the presence of Watts Point Ecological Reserve, located 30 km away, which stands as a silent sentinel over the wilder northern reaches. Shoal Cove holds the quiet endurance of a settlement shaped by the cold, deep currents of the North Atlantic. The local way of life has long been dictated by the seasonal movements of the sea, with the economy turning on the expertise of those who know how to read the tides and the shifting winds. Every morning, the movement of the residents follows the low, steady pulse of the ocean, a tradition of labor that has persisted as long as nets have been mended against the salt-crusted docks. There is a particular stillness in how the day ends here, with the long shadows of the coast stretching out to meet the dark, rising water, grounding Shoal Cove in a history that values resilience above all else.

About This Shoal Cove Map Page

Explore Shoal Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, with an embedded street and satellite map — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 51.350043, -56.649038. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts — including hourly outlooks — are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.

Detailed location data for Shoal Cove includes the postal code (A0K), telephone area code (709, 879). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data for Shoal Cove is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
