La Manche was a community on the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland between Cape Broyle and Tors Cove in a small inlet surrounded by steep hills. The community was first settled in the 1840s, apparently by a George Melvin. There was a small Roman Catholic church and a school located in the community, as well as a suspension bridge which crossed the inlet. At the time of Confederation in 1949, La Manche had a population of 54; by 1961, following the closure of the school, this had fallen to 25. La Manche was abandoned after a winter storm on 28 January 1966 which demolished the community's network of wharves and stages and collapsed the suspension bridge.^[1]

The remains of the community are now incorporated within the boundaries of La Manche Provincial Park.^[2] In 1999, the East Coast Trail Association rebuilt the suspension bridge across La Manche inlet, connecting the park trail system to the East Coast Trail.^[1]
