Beresford Beach

Beresford Beach, an unsupervised saltwater beach with washrooms, picnic tables, canteen, a park, toys for children and an outdoor stage, is the perfect place to swim, relax and bask in the sun. Visitors can take advantage of a hiking trail, a wooden boardwalk and footbridge as well as an observation tower. The birds, the plant life, the sea and the largest salt marsh in the Chaleur Region afford plenty of opportunities to observe nature. Up to 54 species of birds have been spotted here, as well as the rare Maritime Ringlet Butterfly, a small butterfly that lives almost exclusively in the salt marshes in and around the Chaleur Bay from the end of July to mid August.
