Northern Arm is a spectacular saltwater inlet system on the southwestern coast of Newfoundland, comprised of two long inlets that extend roughly eleven miles into the coast from the western edge of Bay d’Espoir. The most prominent feature is the breathtaking seven-mile-long North Bay, characterized by soaring, shear-faced cliffs that rise directly from the water, creating a dramatic and large-scale landscape. The area is part of "Iceberg Alley," known for the passage of icebergs from Greenland, and is a rich marine environment where visitors regularly spot seals, pods of Long-finned pilot whales, and humpback whales foraging along the shores. The waters are deep and clear, flanked by rugged, forested hills. While the primary focus is on the saltwater bay, a river runs through the adjacent valley near the Northern Arm Lodge, offering freshwater angling opportunities.
