Miscou Island, 64 km2, comprises the most eastern part of Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada, on the west side of the Gulf of St Lawrence and at the entrance to CHALEUR BAY.
The island is characterized by white sandy beaches, peat bogs, stunted trees, lakes, salt lagoons and a lighthouse at the northern tip, Miscou Point.
Miscou has a population of approximately 650 full time residents. The island is mostly settled by people of Acadian ancestry and speak French, but many are bilingual.
The island's sand dunes and lagoons host a variety of migratory birds, making the island a favourite location for birding and naturalists. Miscou Harbour has recently become a favourite spot for kite-surfing.

Get the Virgin Islandersmug. A island is a land mass that you have to take a stupid boat or helicopter to get off of it. An "island" is connect to the main land by bridges and therefore doesn't have the same problems as an actual island
My friend lives on a "island" because he can just drive off of it so it is functionally part of the main land. An island is like hawaii where you can't just go drive to California.
