(Redirected from Île Lamèque)'Lamèque Island' (
French:''Île de Lamèque'') is a
Canadian island in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence at the northeastern tip of
Gloucester County,
New Brunswick.
The island has an area measuring approximately 150 km². It is separated from mainland North America on the south by the Shippagan Gut with the island forming Lameque Bay, Shippagan Harbour and Shippagan Bay west of this channel. The island is separated from

The Shippagan Gut is bridged between the town of
Shippagan on the mainland to the community of

lift bridge over a navigation channel for small craft.
The Miscou Channel is bridged between the community of
Little Shippagan on Lamèque Island to the community of
Miscou Harbour on
Miscou Island by the 2000 metre
Miscou Island Bridge.
Lamèque Island and Miscou Island separate
Chaleur Bay from the
Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
