Popes Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[2][3][4]
There is a seven-fathom patch between Pope's and Chocolate Cove.[5]
In 1832, commissioner of Crown Lands Thomas Baillie wrote that the island had "very little value".[6]
In December 1985, a study by Parks Canada assessed the island's value as $3,600.[1]
