footnotes = Burnt Islands is a small coastal community found in God Bay on the southwest coast of Newfoundland, Canada. It is 27 kilometres east from Port-aux-Basques. This community consists of an "island" part and a "main" part that were connected by a causeway in 1969. The community is built on the rocky, barren coastline of the harbour. There are a lot of bogs and marshes on the surrounding countryside.
Burnt Islands is home to a giant red and white checkered water tower known as the tank. Drunken teens have been known to throw rocks at it causing a booming echo heard all over town. Local legend states that bubbles form in the toilets of nearby residents when this happens.
