Upper Burgeo rests where the rugged Newfoundland coast, a land carved by ancient ice and relentless sea, unfurls into a series of sheltered coves and windswept headlands. It lies 4.0 km west-south-west of Burgeo, NL (from Burgeo, NL: bearing 243°T), and is situated 22.5 km west-north-west of Ramea. Here, the air, sharp with the tang of salt and spruce, carries the mournful cry of gulls and the distant rumble of waves against the granite shore. Heather and hardy shrubs cling to the rocky slopes, their colours muted under the vast, often brooding sky, while the dark, patient waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence mirror the shifting moods of the heavens. Inland, shallow lakes glint like scattered obsidian, fed by countless unnamed rivulets that tumble down the uneven terrain, their paths softened by emerald moss and the resilient growth of low-lying fir. The very land seems to breathe a slow, deep rhythm, a testament to the enduring power of nature. The history of Upper Burgeo is etched into its very bones, a story of resilience and resourcefulness born from a challenging landscape. For generations, the lifeblood of Upper Burgeo has been tied to the bounty of the sea – cod, lobster, and the fleeting promise of the caplin schools that once painted the waters silver. This deep connection to the ocean fostered a culture of self-reliance and close-knit community, where neighbours lent a hand and the shared experience of the elements forged unbreakable bonds. While the fishing industry has seen its seasons of boom and bust, the spirit of Upper Burgeo endures, a quiet determination woven into the fabric of its daily life. Today, a sense of quiet pride pervades, a recognition of the unique heritage and the enduring strength of this coastal settlement.
