Beechey is an uninhabited island known for its expedition history. The heritage associated with the island comes from the search for the Northwest Passage, and the loss of the Franklin Expedition during the 1840s. Search parties set out in the following years to discover what happened to the men, and these searches led to the further exploration and mapping of a large portion of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Travelers who visit Beechey Island will encounter the archaeological remnants of the Franklin Expedition as well as cairns, caches, and shipwrecks along the narrow beach.
