Cabins & Cottages - Plum Point

Plum Point was settled in 1898 by the Coombs and Chambers families. At this time the community was known as Old Ferrole. Since then, Plum Point has become the main centre where all the residents of surrounding communities from Castor River South to St. Barbe come for services. The community provides such services as postal, accommodations, retail, vehicle repair, church, educational, recreational, and many organizations and corporations. Plum Point has very close ties to Old Ferrole Island, known as Darbys Island today. It was used as a seasonal fishing site by the Basque in the late 1500's. Today the residents of Plum Point are trying to develop the island as a historic site for all to enjoy the history of their community.
