Overview

Point Campbell is a kitesurfing spot located at the northern tip of Lamèque Island, in New Brunswick. This point offers exposure to the winds of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the channel between Lamèque and Miscou, with favourable conditions in northeasterly and westerly winds. The body of water is coastal and influenced by tides. Point Campbell allows riding with different wind directions thanks to its advanced position. The bottom is sandy with shallow areas near the shore. The season runs from June to September. This spot is suitable for intermediate to advanced riders due to offshore exposure and possible currents between the two islands.
