Eddies Cove East, Newfoundland and Labrador

Eddies Cove East is an unincorporated fishing community located northeast of Anchor Point in the Strait of Belle Isle of Newfoundland, Canada. Phillip Coates, a Somerset fisherman, and his wife Sarah Duncan, were the first settlers of Eddies Cove East. The first official census in 1869 records one family with ten children. The fishing season there is relatively short because of severe ice and fog conditions. Herring and cod have been the main species fished.
