PEI BEACHES 13, 14, 15

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Yesterday’s post described how we’d gone on a two day trip to eastern PEI and that I’d be taking many days to post about all the beaches we visited. That was a well timed decision as today is quite a rainy day.

Beach Point Beach

Nice, little secluded white and red sand beach that’s very close to Murray Harbour. We only saw two other people on the beach.

How lucky we were that we saw quite a few fishing boats returning while we were there. What a fantastic sight!

Here:

* dirt parking lot

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* sandy beach

Machon Point Beach

Here:

* road sign says there’s a beach here but there’s not much beach

* small amount of dirt parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* small sandy area

There are signs that others must have also been here.

I don’t think this happened on its own.

Interesting.

Kings Castle Provincial Park Beach

I remember reading in the May 31, 2019 newspaper that several large concrete animal figurines and other property were damaged at the park. How disgusting. Why would anyone want to damage this amazing place and ruin children’s fun.

But

In typical PEI fashion people rally together to help. The concrete animal critters of Kings Castle Provincial Park are now on the mend. Way to go PEI. While we were we there we saw work being done. Good job.

Families would delight in coming to this park. It is an extremely spacious green space with lots of unique and interesting play equipment and structures for kids. Such fun. And we saw several families enjoying them. Perfect

Here:

* parking

* washrooms

* playground paradise with many slides, swings, climbing apparatuses

* benches

* picnic tables

* picnic shelter

* canteen

* boardwalk to the beach

* small beach area

* mosquitoes (so bring your bug repellent)

We thought that their signage for parking and beach entrances could be improved. Having never been here before we were unsure where to park and which paths to take when leaving.
