A growing community on the edge of nature.

No place on Earth is perfect. But for the best possible mix of rural and urban living, Conception Bay South comes pretty close.

Located just 20 kilometers from the bustling capital city St. John’s, our community of 27,000 features pristine hiking trails, parks, marinas, a beautiful beach, and spectacular ocean views, all set alongside excellent schools, major health care facilities, a commercial port, an industrial park, and a thriving business sector.

Conception Bay South provides affordable real estate, excellent recreation facilities, a safe environment, and some of the best weather in the province. As a result, the town continues to be one of the fastest-growing in Newfoundland and Labrador, and is a community of choice for families wanting to establish long-term roots.

Working in partnership with businesses, community organizations and government departments to promote new economic development opportunities, the town maintains an open-handed approach with a firm commitment to long-term fiscal responsibility, sustainability and, above all, livability.

If that’s not just about perfect, then it’s hard to know what is.
