This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Black Beach, New Brunswick. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of New Brunswick or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Black Beach and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Black Beach.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Black Beach is a locality in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Black Beach is located at 45.1527°N, 66.2253°W.
Black Beach holds a singular, somber gravity on the Atlantic coast, where the dark, mineral-heavy sands meet the cold push of the tide within the Giants Steps. It lies 9.6 km east-south-east of Fundy Shores, NB (from Fundy Shores, NB: bearing 118°T), and is situated 18.8 km south-west of Saint John. The shoreline here feels carved by a deliberate hand, shaped by the relentless surge of the Musquash River as it empties into the salt water. Light at dusk clings to the obsidian grains of the shore, turning the wet sand into a mirror that reflects the low, heavy clouds rolling in from the open ocean. Shannons Lake rests in the quiet interior just 2 km away, offering a freshwater stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic, salt-crusted pulse of the coast. Further inland, the landscape rises toward the Reversing Falls at a distance of 16 km, while the protected reaches of Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau lie 18 km to the west, marking the transition of the rugged coastline. Black Beach carries the quiet endurance of a landscape defined by the extraction of stone and the slow movement of the Atlantic. The local economy has long been shaped by the presence of the granite and dark rock that define the terrain, a geology that demands patience from those who work the land. Men and women here live with an awareness of the tides, their daily movements measured against the rise and fall of the Musquash River. The air holds a sharp, clean clarity, smelling of cold brine and damp earth, a scent that lingers long after the sun has retreated behind the trees. This is a geography of hard edges and deep shadows, where the traditions of the coast are kept by the persistence of the sea itself.
Black Beach s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où les formations géologiques du Giants Steps offrent une structure tourmentée à la rencontre de la terre et de l'océan. Le rivage, imprégné de la puissance des marées, borde les eaux de la rivière Musquash dans une solitude minérale que le crépuscule enveloppe d'une lumière d'encre et d'argent. À quelques kilomètres vers l'intérieur, le lac Shannons repose dans un calme absolu, contraste apaisant avec l'agitation marine qui anime les environs. Plus loin, la topographie se déploie vers les chutes Reversing et le Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau, éléments naturels qui dessinent les contours d'un territoire façonné par une rudesse sauvage et persistante. Black Beach conserve une identité brute, définie par le ressac constant sur ses galets sombres et une atmosphère dépouillée de tout artifice. Ici, l'air salin semble suspendre le cours des heures, rappelant la fragilité des existences humaines face à la permanence des éléments. Les habitants observent depuis longtemps ce mouvement perpétuel des eaux, cultivant une relation intime avec une nature qui ne se laisse jamais totalement apprivoiser, mais qui, dans ses moments de silence, révèle une beauté austère, presque impérieuse, propre à ce coin de terre atlantique.

Detailed location data for Black Beach includes the postal code (E2M), telephone area code (506). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Black Beach is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
