History	Savage Cove is the most northerly sheltered harbour on the Newfoundland side of the Strait of Belle Isle. Its entrance protected by Cooper Island, Savage Cove did not receive its name from rough seas but rather from having been frequented by aboriginal peoples at the time when the French were fishing in the area. The cove appears on early French maps as "Anse aux Sauvages" or "passage aux Sauvages" leading northeast from Savage Cove to Cape Norman and Pistolet Bay.
