PEI BEACHES 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

Uncategorized 3 Minutes

Wow. I can’t believe we visited 21 beaches in two days.

Here are the last of the beaches from our recent trip down/up east. But we’re not done.

Chad’s Road Beach

We saw this beach listed in the beach book and on the website (and it said it was a little gem) plus there was the beach sign on the road. i guess they were being quite literal when they said little. I have to say that it wasn’t much of a beach. Maybe that was due to it being high tide but to me it wasn’t great. Just my opinion.

Here:

* dirt road parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* small sandy beach

Fortune Beach

We found the Fortune Beach Road and decided to follow it to see where it would take us, assuming because of its name that we’d find a beach. We did. Yay. 🥳

So we called it Fortune Beach. Who knows if that’s its name?

It’s a small secluded white sandy beach. Sweet.

Here:

* small amount of dirt parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

Sheep Pond Beach

This beach has lovely white sand. Don’t you just love PEI’s white sand?

While we were there we could hear a whistle buoy. Neat.

According to dictionary.com a whistle buoy is a buoy having a whistle operated by air trapped and compressed in an open-bottomed chamber by the rising and falling water level caused by natural wave action.

Wikipedia states: The earliest use of Oscillating Water Columns was in whistling buoys. These buoys used the air pressure generated in the collecting chamber to power a PTO system that consisted of a whistle or foghorn. Rather than generating electricity, the PTO would generate sound, allowing the buoy to warn boats of dangerous water.

The sound here was quite prominent and continuous but I’m sure people eventually get used to it. We can occasionally hear the sound of a whistle buoy in Borden.

Souris Beach

This is a well known beach for collecting sea glass but we’ve never had much luck.

An outstanding boardwalk overlooking the beach is used and loved by both tourists and locals. A beautiful spot to walk along or maybe sit on one of their lighted benches while enjoying the views.

There are restaurants, gift shops, and a large patio overlooking the beach. Simply smashing. We love it here.

The town of Souris is also the gateway to the Îles de-la-Madeleine ferry.

* unsupervised beach

Little Harbour Beach

This is such a fabulous beach. Even in June there were people enjoying this stunning beach. We saw that strange bright green seaweed again. Thoughts on what it is?

Little Harbour Beach is located next to a bird sanctuary and we saw some very interesting birds while we were driving. Richard’s the one who’s really interested in birds. I’m not really a nature girl.

Here:

* lots of dirt parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

* fabulous white sandy beach

* located next to a bird sanctuary

That’s all the beaches from our recent trip to eastern PEI.

But we’ll definitely be back. There are so many more beaches here to discover and enjoy.

If we missed some of your favourites comment and let me know so we hit them next time.

Now off to other parts of PEI and their beautiful beaches.

See you soon.
