Hall Beach is located on the shore of Foxe Basin on the Melville Peninsula.
Hall Beach was created when a Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line site was
built in the area in 1957 to help monitor Canadian air space in the Far
North. Although the DEW Line is no longer operational, there is a more
technologically advanced North Warning System radar site in the
community to replace it.
In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s Inuit moved from surrounding camps to
work around the DEW Line site and the community was born. Hall Beach is
considered one of the more traditional communities in Nunavut. The
traditional name for Hall Beach is Sanirajak or “one that is along the coast”.
Hall Beach is a great place to see walruses, seals, waterfowl and other arctic
wildlife; fishing for arctic char is superb.
