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: Beach by the harbour at L'Anse-à-Beaufils in Percé, one of the agate beaches the regional tourism board names. The local mineral club says the seashore is public, but the tourism board asks visitors not to take agates, so collecting here is 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.
