Baie-Johan-Beetz is a municipality and village in the Côte-Nord region of the province of Quebec in Canada, located some 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Havre-Saint-Pierre. It has the lowest population of all incorporated places in the Côte-Nord region. Joseph Tanguay, originally from Berthier, settled at the Little Watshishou River in 1854. Tanguay and his sons fished mostly for salmon on the Piashti, Corneille, Petite Watshishou, Watshishou and Quetachou rivers. In 1862 Tanguay moved to Baie Piashti. Other early settlers came from the Magdalen Islands. The place was originally identified as "Piastre Bay", from the Innu expression piashite-pets, meaning "there where the water passes over/on top", or possibly originating from the word piashtibé, meaning "dry bay" or "where the water rises", which is a reference to the local bay that during low tide runs dry.
