Nipper's Harbour is a town located on the east coast of the Baie Verte Peninsula of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This incorporated community of 85 people is located on a rocky inlet that combines Nipper's Harbour and Noble's Cove, and where the primary industry is the inshore fishery. The town is approximately 58 km from Baie Verte.
In 2013, the town voted 98% in favour of resettlement; however, the provincial government refused to offer financial compensation to the residents, arguing that it would be more cost efficient for them to not resettle.[1][2]
In 2021, the local school, Bayview Primary, closed due to no enrolment.[3]
