[edit] Local Activities
One of Beresford's main attraction is its beach. Renovated in the late 90's, the beach features an observation tower overlooking the marshes, a boardwalk and change room, restroom and shower facilities. A popular tourist attraction, it is not rare to find local musicians featuring their talents at the beach on warm summer nights.
Every year a carnival called "Carnaval du Siffleux" is held in Beresford. Sculptures made of snow collected by plowing parking lots are presented all around town. This is one of the many activities available to the Beresford residents during this carnival.
The Chez Ni-nine bar is also very popular in the region for their weekly "open mic" and karaoke nights, where musicians young and old share their love for music.
