Dinner Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[1][2][3]
In 1910, a nautical beacon was placed at Pompey's Ledge, between Deer Island and Dinner Island to mark the northwest passage to the harbour.[4]
As Warren Hatheway was unsuccessful in his bid to be granted Bar Island off the northern shore of Deer Island against the wishes of Thomas Farrell, between 1810-1817 he was awarded a grant of six small nearby islets including Hardwood Island, Popes Island, Nubble Island, Dinner Island Simpsons Island and Fish Island.[5][6][7][8]
In 2017, a Great White Shark was videoed killing a porpoise off Dinner Island.[9]
