Harbour Round: Located on a small side road off Rte. 414 that divides into two with Harbour Round on the left and Brent's Cove to the right.

Harbour Round should not be confused with Round Harbour which is also in the same "general" vicinity, is off Rte. 416 that leads to Snooks Arm.

According to the CNL website, that although Harbour Round is small, it is "protected". It was used in the early 17th century as a fishing station.

In a fisheries report of 1857 "Harbour Round was occupied by only one family who had come to the area to guard the fishing equipment and supplies of the French fishermen who returned to their homelands for the winter months".

Harbour Round is separated by Brent's Cove by a white-coloured point of land which rises to a high, steep, round hill.

While it is not known for sure, it is easy to surmise that Harbour Round was named after the shape of the harbour.

Brent's Cove no doubt was named after somebody by the name of Brent, by who was Brent is not known. Brent's Cove is in Confusion Bay, which was described earlier in the section on Bays.
