Elliston is a small coastal community located on the Bonavista Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Originally known as Bird Island Cove until 1902, the town has a rich history tied to the fishing industry and maritime culture.

The community is known as the "Root Cellar Capital of the World" due to its numerous historic root cellars, which were used to preserve vegetables and other food items through the harsh winter months. These cellars represent an important part of the area's cultural heritage and traditional way of life.

Elliston is also famous for its excellent viewing points for puffins, making it one of the most accessible places in North America to observe these seabirds in their natural habitat. The town's heritage is deeply connected to the sea, with generations of residents having made their living from the fishing industry, particularly during the time of the traditional Newfoundland cod fishery.
