Editing Chaleur Bay (section)

===Beaches===
The shores of Chaleur Bay include numerous beaches, particularly in the south. Many rivers also form [[barachois]] or ''barrier beaches''. The [[Eel River Bar]] is one such beach, located at the mouth of the Eel River, immediately to the west of the village of [[Charlo, New Brunswick]]. This sand bar is unique, in that it not only has fresh water on one side and salt water on the other, but it is also home to the endangered [[piping plover]].

Tourism in the region has been driven mainly by beachgoers in the summer months. The warm ocean currents emitting from the larger Gulf of Saint Lawrence result in some of the warmest saltwater on the Atlantic coast north of Virginia.
