Bon Ami Rocks
This volcanic formation represents a lava flow deposited during the Devonian period, nearly 400 million years ago. It is named for Peter Bonamy, who is considered to be Dalhousie’s first European settler. He moved to the point in 1787 and, a year later, applied for a grant of land. At first, the entire area, including both this and Inch Arran Point, was referred to in government documents as "Bonamy’s Point."
Arch Rock

New Brunswick
(506) 684-7600
A natural rock formation, "the Arch Rock", carved by the tides and once called the "Gate of Fossil Cove", is a photographer’s dream. The beach area surrounding Arch Rock is greatly prized by geologists, locals, and tourists.On the edge of the rock, an outline of a face can be seen facing the Eel River Bar First Nations Reserve. On top of the rock was a single tree that was said to represent a feather, for legend has it that the Indian chief from the reserve proclaimed that when he died he would return to watch over his people. When he died, it is believed that he was reincarnated on the side of the arch rock overlooking the Native Reserve. Over the years, erosion has torn away at the rock, but to this day, the Indian chief remains watchful over his people.

At 48.03.30N, Dalhousie is the most northern point in New Brunswick and has a rich past in shipbuilding and sailing. This ship, Polaris, is dedicated to our historic past and, as in the age of sail, is a beacon for the future of our waterfront community where the Restigouche River meets the Bay of Chaleur.
