Land & collecting status

Confirm rules before collecting

Land status here is not confirmed. National and provincial parks prohibit collecting, while Crown land and many beaches allow it. Verify with the managing agency before you collect.

Access note: Town beach at the mouth of the Bonaventure River, where the local mineral club says agates are picked up at low tide. The club says the seashore is public, but the regional tourism board asks visitors not to collect, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Collecting rules in Canada are set provincially and by land owner. Crown land and many public beaches allow casual hand collecting, while provincial and national parks are off-limits. Confirm the rules for this site before you dig.
