The community of Harbour Main-Chapel Cove-Lakeview is an amalgamation of three formerly separate communities situated at the bottom of Conception Bay. The old community of Harbour Main is spread out along the east and south shore of an 8 km (5 mi) long, northeast-southwest oriented inlet, while Chapel Cove is located in a small cove with the same orientation approximately 6.5 km (4 mi) to the east, on the west side of the mouth of Holyrood Bay; Lakeview, a more recently settled community is found inland, 1.6 km (1 mi) southwest of Harbour Main on the Conception Bay Highway.
