The island has an area of 150 square kilometres (58 sq mi).

[5] It is separated from mainland North America on the south by the Shippagan Gut with the island forming Lameque Bay, Shippagan Harbour and Shippagan Bay west of this channel.

The Shippagan Gut is bridged between the town of Shippagan on the mainland to the local service district of Chiasson-Savoy on Lamèque Island by a 1,000-metre (3,300-foot) combination causeway-bridge with a lift bridge over a navigation channel for small craft.

Lamèque Island and Miscou Island separate Chaleur Bay from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
