Skinner’s Pond Beach

These western PEI Beaches continue to amaze me. I hope some of these photos are inspiring you to explore these beaches.

This beach is on Stompin Tom Road in Skinners Pond. What do you think?

Across from the beach is the Stompin’ Tom Centre and Homestead.

What a wonderful tribute to this man, Stompin’ Tom Connors.

When I taught elementary school music my students loved his songs and the stories they told. To me, he was a Canadian folklorist. Once when the students were doing projects on Canadian musicians a group wrote him and he sent CD’s, posters, and his book. What a kind and generous gesture to these young people.

Here:

• Paved road

• Several areas to park

• Multiple entrances to get onto the beach

• No washrooms

• Unsupervised beach

• A lovely sandy beach

• Lots of people enjoying the beach and picnicking

• Right by the Harbour

• Beautiful white caps

• Views of the North Cape windmills

Nail Pond Beach

This beach is located on Nail Pond Shore Road.

This is such a great beach. I loved it, but I sure hope it doesn’t get spoiled by vehicles on the beach. I was so disappointed to see this.

Again I was surprised that only a few people were here. Such a lovely beach but only enjoyed by a few.

Here:

• Dirt road

• Parking on road (but apparently some park on the beach)

• No washrooms

• Unsupervised beach

• View of North Cape windmills

• Beautiful red sandy beach

Off to North Cape. Chat about it tomorrow.

Cheers.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.

  1. A lot of the “up west” beaches are beautiful and unspoiled. Love visiting them. We usually head in that direction rather then where the “popular” spots are!
