Understand
Originally known as Salvage Bay, Salvage New, and Brighton, it eventually became known as Eastport due to it being on the east side of Salvage Bay. In the early 1960's, under the resettlement program, several families from Flat Island and Cowardâs Island moved to Eastport. They brought with them their own unique culture which added a new and interesting dimension to the community. Today, that friendly unique culture can be seen throughout Eastport whenever you stop for a âyarnâ with residents.
Eastport is the service centre for the Eastport Peninsula. Here you will find grocery stores, restaurants, accommodations, and service stations as well as lots to do!.
