Keats Island is a small island with a permanent population of around 50.[1] The island is located on the Eastport Peninsula of Bonavista Bay near the community of Salvage, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Island is a popular kayaking area[2] due to the abundance of sea stacks and sea arches that can be found around the island.[3]

The island takes its name from the family name of Keats who live in the Bonavista Bay areas.[2]
