Ramea

Ramea is a small island village in Southern Newfoundland, with a population of 618. In 2004, Ramea was chosen as a wind-diesel generation project.

Get in

Ramea is accessible via the Provincial Ferry Service, from either Burgeo or Grey River.

Get around

The Ferry from Burgeo to Ramea is capable of carrying vehicles, and there are roads in Ramea for cars. The relatively small size (1.89 km2) of the town, however, means that any destination is within walking distance.

gollark: It annoys me that phones are significantly harder to repair than they have to be.
gollark: Ideally a Nokia-durability one, but to be fair that's probably not practical with smartphones.
