PEI BEACHES 37, 38

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Yesterday we headed off to Charlottetown to do a few errands and have coffee/tea at Starbucks so we decided to include some beaches to complete our day.

Off we went across the Hillsborough River Bridge.

Turning onto Stratford Road we began looking for what we thought would be our first beach of the day, Tea Hill Beach.

What a pleasant surprise to find one before that.

Keppoch Road Beach

It was wonderful to see quite a few people enjoying the beach: kids playing on the sandbars while others were in beach chairs soaking in the sun, sand, and water. Great place to be on a hot day.

Strange thing about beaches.

In this booklet https://www.pointseastcoastaldrive.com/ they call this the Keppoch Road Beach but the link for it says Kinlock Beach. Maybe that’s because it’s at the end of Kinlock Road. Interesting.

Here

* lots gravel parking

* no washrooms

* unsupervised beach

This beach borders on wetlands. I’m not a “birder” but I’m sure others enjoy this.

Not far down the road we found our next beach.

Tea Hill Park and Beach

This is a lovely huge park and again we found people relishing their beach walks while others were sitting in the park.

We chatted with a woman originally from PEI who moved away and was now back living on PEI. This was a nostalgic visit for her. She used to go to this beach a lot when she previously lived here. She told us we should really see this beach at low tide as it goes out quite a ways and seems like you can walk forever.

Here:

* lots of paved parking

* washrooms

* picnic tables

* unsupervised beach

* very nice children’s playground

* volleyball court

* cricket pitch

Richard schooled me on a few cricket facts.

I think someone was amazed by the crab shells. Maybe they had never before seen them.

I found them laid out on a picnic table.

Over the next few days I’ll share the other beaches we saw.

Next week we’re very excited to turn our eyes to Western PEI to discover their fabulous beaches.

We’re having such fun with our summer beach adventures and hoping they’re inspiring you to create an adventure too – if not on PEI then around your own home.

Cheers.
