Seal Cove

Are there seals at Seal Cove?

You cannot imagine how excited we were to go to Seal Cove. We had been reading about this beach in a PEI Beaches book which said that seals could always be seen here.

Nope. I don’t think so.

I have no idea what the people who wrote the book saw but we didn’t see any seals.

We were so disappointed.

We did see lots of geese. We joked that maybe it’s name needs to be changed to Geese Cove. 😉 We had to be very careful where we stepped. Lots of geese you know what.

We did find one piece of white sea glass.

This is a campground but apparently they don’t mind if you go down to the beach.

* parking

* washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* playground area

Poverty Beach

This is a nice long, white sandy beach. It’s on the other side of the harbour to Beach Point and is located at the end of Poverty Beach Road. That makes it a bit easier to find. We chose to relax here and enjoy our afternoon tea and cookies. Beautiful views. A few others were here also enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

Richard found a piece of green sea glass. 😊 A good day when you find sea glass.

Here:

* dirt road parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* long sandy beach

St. Mary’s Beach

We didn’t think this was one of the better beaches on our travels but really, if you have a beach close to you, then go and enjoy it.

Here:

* road parking

* washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* campground

* swings

Panmure Island Provincial Park Beach

What a lovely long, white, sandy beach. Even in June there were over a dozen people enjoying the sun, sand, and surf.

I should have gone to see it but I was tired after a long day of beach touring and decided to pass on it but I found this online for you.

One last beach look.

By now I just wanted to get back to Rodd Brudenell River Resort, have a hot bath, and relax. Oh and they have fresh homemade cookies fo4 their guests. Yummy.

I’ll have to return another day.
