Beaubears Island is situated in the Miramichi River just outside the boundaries of the City of Miramichi, between the former Town of Newcastle and the Village of Nelson-Miramichi. Wilsons Point is located at The Enclosure and it is the point opposite Beaubears Island.  It is recognized for two designations of national historical significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
Boishébert National Historic Site of Canada, one of its dual designations, tells the story of Charles Deschamps de Boishébert who led the Acadians to Beaubears Island and Wilsons Point where they took refuge after the deportation of 1755.
Beaubears Island Shipbuilding National Historic Site of Canada, J.Leonard O’Brien Memorial, is the only known extensive, undisturbed archaeological site, which still exists today, associated with the 19th century wooden shipbuilding industry in New Brunswick, and perhaps Canada.
