Beaver Harbour is a community on the Fundy shore of New Brunswick, Canada.
Most of the community forms the Local service district of Beaver Harbour, which was established in 1971.[1] It is also a census subdivision of Census Canada. Since the formation of the LSD, the community has expanded past the original boundaries into the LSD of the parish of Pennfield.[citation needed]
In 1866 it had about 30 resident families, and grew to a population of 150 by 1871, the 500 in 1898.[2] As of 2016, the population was 277.[3]
It is the site of the Lighthouse Point Light, originally built in 1875 and subsequently rebuilt. It is a fiberglass tapered cylindrical tower with balcony and lantern.[4]
