Holyrood Pond is a large freshwater pond located in the St. Mary's Bay area of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, accessible from St. Vincent's on Route 90. One of its defining geographical features is that it is separated from the open Atlantic Ocean by a wide pebble beach, making it a notable coastal pond with a direct visual and physical relationship to the sea.

The pond is referenced in both canoe and kayak guidebooks, including "Canyons, Coves and Coastal Waters: Choice Canoe and Kayak Routes of Newfoundland and Labrador" and a revised treatment in "A Guide to Sea Kayaking in Newfoundland and Labrador," suggesting it has been recognized as a worthwhile paddling destination for both disciplines. A boat launching ramp is available at the site, facilitating access for trailered watercraft as well as paddle craft.

Paddlers will find basic amenities at the site, including a small interpretation centre and washrooms located near the parking area. The setting directly across from St. Vincent's Beach — well known for shoreline whale watching — means paddlers may have opportunities to observe marine wildlife in the surrounding coastal environment. The wide pebble beach separating the pond from the Atlantic is a distinctive landscape feature visible from the water.

The pond also sits in proximity to the Avalon Wilderness Reserve, and a 24-kilometre hiking trail — the Daniel's Point to Holyrood Pond Trail — connects the area to the reserve's interior, reflecting the broader wilderness character of the region. Paddlers interested in combining water travel with land-based exploration of the reserve should note that canoe access into the reserve is possible from locations along Peak Pond Road off the Salmonier Line/Route 90.
