Chaleur Bay, inlet of the Gulf of St Lawrence, south-eastern Canada. A submerged valley of the Restigouche River, it separates New Brunswick from the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec Province and is a noted fishing ground. The bay was sighted in July 1534 by the French explorer Jacques Cartier, who named it for the great chaleur (“warmth”) he experienced here. It is about 170 km (105 mi) long, and gradually widens to about 40 km (25 mi) across at its mouth.
