It lies 36.2 km east-south-east of St. Stephen, NB (from St. Stephen, NB: bearing 112°T), and is situated 6.7 km west of Blacks Harbour.7 km west of Blacks Harbour. The land here is a study in patient erosion, a gently sloping terrain of fertile soil interspersed with rocky outcrops that speak of ancient glacial work. Low-lying fields, often shrouded in morning mist that clings like damp wool, give way to the darker green of spruce and fir, their spires reaching towards a sky that can shift from the pale, watery blue of a spring day to the bruised, dramatic purples of an autumn sunset. The air carries the tang of salt and the faint, sweet scent of pine needles, a perpetual reminder of the proximity to the ocean’s restless heart. The lifeblood of Back Bay has long been tied to the sea, an inheritance from generations who understood the rhythms of the tides and the bounty of the cold, clear waters. Fishing, particularly for herring and sardines, once filled the processing plants that hummed with activity, their collective echo a soundtrack to the town’s past prosperity. Though the scale of those operations has diminished, the spirit of resilience remains, evident in the smaller boats still venturing out and the quiet pride of those who continue to work the water. The history of Back Bay is etched not in grand monuments, but in the weathered clapboard of its homes and the enduring strength of its people, a community that has learned to adapt and endure, much like the hardy sea grass that anchors the shoreline.

Back Bay respire l'air salin du fleuve Saint-Jean, là où ses eaux s'élargissent avant de se jeter dans l'immensité de la baie de Fundy, un paysage sculpté par le va-et-vient des marées et le passage du temps. Les collines doucement ondulées, parsemées de boisés sombres où se perdent les murmures du vent, descendent vers un littoral fragmenté, une mosaïque de criques abritées et de plages de galets où viennent s'échouer les débris polis de l'océan. L'histoire de Back Bay est tissée de la résilience de ceux qui ont fait de cette terre leur foyer, des premiers Acadiens aux pêcheurs qui continuent de dépendre des richesses de la mer. Les bateaux colorés, ancrés dans le petit port, témoignent d'une économie ancrée dans la pêche, une tradition perpétuée génération après génération, tandis que le rythme paisible de la vie quotidienne est rythmé par le soleil qui se lève sur l'eau et se couche dans un spectacle de lumières changeantes. L'atmosphère est empreinte d'une quiétude authentique, où le son des mouettes et le clapotis des vagues se mêlent aux conversations lentes des voisins, créant un sentiment d'appartenance profond et intemporel à ce coin de pays.
