About Hall Beach
Alternate Name: Sanirajak
Local Meaning: Flat Land
POPULATION: 543
TIME ZONE: Eastern
Hall Beach was chosen in the 1950s as a DEW Line station site in part due to its northern latitude and for the easy access to water. The community and nearby lake is named for Captain Hall, an American explorer who lived in the region in the mid 19th century.
Excellent fishing, particularly char, and marine wildlife watching can be found at Hall Beach. The area is known for good hunting and fishing, and flocks of waterfowl nest in the area. Outfitting services for daylong or longer expeditions include dog team or snowmobile tours, boating expeditions, wildlife watching, sport fishing and hunting. Hall Beach is one of the few places in Canada where walrus hunting still takes place.
