Elliott’s Cove is a community on Random Sound and the western end of Random Island, approximately due southeast across the Sound from Clarenville. Prior to inhabitants during the past few decades (e.g., in Random Heights) along the Island’s main road from the mainland via the Hefferton Causeway (completed in 1952), Elliott’s Cove was the first community along that road proceeding in a general eastward direction across the Island. It was also one of the earliest settlements on the western third of Random Island[9].
