Pendleton Island (formerly called Doyle's Island) is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.
Doyle's Passage (alternately called Boyle's Passage) initially referred to the narrow northern passage between the island and Macs Island which was then termed Letete Island, but the term later came to refer to the narrow passage between Pendleton's Island and Deer Island, with the northern passage renamed L'etete Passage. Two overhead power cables over the passage have clearances of 15 and 21 metres. The passage between Pendleton and Deer island is shallow and marked with rocks, making it difficult to cross.
