Everything about The Burin Peninsula totally explained
The
Burin Peninsula is a
Canadian peninsula located on the south coast of the island of
Newfoundland in the province of
Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Burin Peninsula extends to the southwest from the main island of Newfoundland, separating
Fortune Bay to the west from
Placentia Bay to the east. It measures approximately 130 km in length and between 15-30 km in width. It is connected by a 30 km wide
