PEI BEACHES 80, 81, 82

Lovin’ this summer weather and the PEI Beaches.

Heres the end of our “up west” beaches.

Northport Shore Road Beach

As we travelled down this dirt road we weren’t sure about using this as a beach but then we noticed others had been there so we decided people come to this beach area.

There was a lot of seaweed but we did find some white sea glass. Score.

Here:

◦ Dirt road

◦ Dirt road parking

◦ No washrooms

◦ Unsupervised beach

◦ Red sand

Gordons Shore Road Beach

Heading to Tyne Valley from Northport Shore Rd. we spotted a dirt road that led us down to this spot.

There’s a small area with camping trailers but it didn’t seem like a public campground. Maybe they park for the summer. There were lots of vehicles parked here as well as quite a few boats.

If you look closely you’ll see a floating yellow rubber ducky and a green/blue/white inflatable.

Here:

◦ Dirt road

◦ Dirt road parking

◦ No washrooms

◦ Unsupervised beach

◦ Playground

Then off to Tyne Valley for a mid afternoon meal at backwoods Burger.

This should certainly be on your list of restaurants to visit.

It was our first time at Backwoods Burger but it definitely won’t be our last.

We loved it – fun atmosphere, friendly staff, great prices, and delicious food.

If you haven’t been then you must.

Cute spot, both on the outside and the inside.

Interesting menu.

Richard had “return of the mac” with a side of coleslaw. It was enormous! 😮 As I like spicy food 🌶 I ordered “the j express” (minus the crispy onion straws) on a gluten free bun and it did not disappoint. Delicious. The best gluten free bun I’ve ever eaten. 🥰 Those of you who eat gluten free know how difficult it is to get a good gluten free bun, let alone a great one. The meal was so good we ate it before we remembered to take pics. Next time.

Hats off to you backwoods Burger. We’ll be back.

Off to our last beach of the day.

The road leading into the park is lovely. You drive under a canopy of trees. Delightful.

For you history buffs you’ll be interested in The Shipbuilding Museum and Historic Yeo House located here.

Sorry I can’t describe them as we didn’t visit. It had been a long day of driving and we were looking forward to returning home. Another time.

We did drive down to the beach.

Here:

◦ Grass parking

◦ Unsupervised beach

◦ Washrooms

◦ Laundry

◦ Playground

◦ Picnic benches

◦ Metal stairs to beach

◦ Kitchen shelter

September on PEI is usually nice and warm so that’s when we’ll be finishing up our PEI beaches.

Cheers.
