Port Blandford is an incorporated town at the head of Clode Sound on the northwest side of Bonavista Bay, beside the Trans-Canada Highway near the boundary of Terra Nova National Park. Its location makes it a natural stopping point between Clarenville and Gambo.

Local context

The provincial land use registry maintains the Town of Port Blandford's registered municipal plan and development regulations, confirming its incorporated status. Natural Resources Canada records the official town at approximately 48.34 north and 54.18 west at the head of Clode Sound, where the Trans-Canada Highway passes the community en route between Clarenville and the Terra Nova area. The town's own website describes the municipal services it provides to residents and the surrounding area.

The town's position beside the highway and the national park shapes a local economy that serves both residents and travellers. Accommodations, food services, and trades support people moving between the Clarenville area and the central coast. The directory keeps Port Blandford as its own municipal profile within the Eastern region while recognizing that many residents also look toward Clarenville for a wider range of services, and listings benefit from clear service-area and seasonal hours information for both audiences.
