Agate Island
Agate Island is within the Lake Superior Archipelago near Nipigon Bay, a part of the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area. The agate laden shoreline of this island has been named one of the seven Natural Wonder Beaches of the world by the Travel & Escape Channel.
The island is also unique due to the Pukaskwa Pits that can be found there. These pits were dug into the pebbled beach by early Ojibwe inhabitants over a thousand years ago. These pits are thought to have been made for food storage though other theories suggest hunting blinds or spiritual sites.
