Best beach of the Island

I consider this the best beach on PEI, with singing sands and wonderful waves this beach is perfect for anyone looking for a place to suntan, swim, and even jump off the wharf for a little adrenaline. Dogs are allowed which is great! And food...More

Unleashed dogs and their unmentionables

Having read rave reviews, we were a tad disappointed in the beach, though the weather didn’t help. It was too cold to swim and the water had been churned into an unattractive grey soup, but we didn’t find the beach particularly scenic (best in Canada?!...More

Nice quiet beach

Our first trip to PEI and stopped by this beach. Small but nice. Water was clear and warm for Sept. Great beach for kids in season.

Sands not singing today

This looks like almost every beach you see off of PEI and apparently only sings on dry days. Ours was damp so sands quiet. A nice beach but not worth a special trip.

Lovely Place to Visit

On a trip to PEI just after Labour Day, we drove out to Basin Head Provincial Park on the recommendation of the owner of our cottage. It was a bit of a drive from the Brackley Beach area, but a pleasant one, and we are...More

Worth a Visit

We were recommended to visit this place and glad we did.....it is a provincial park so if you're here before Labour Day it will cost you. The area is not that big but certainly a very beautiful spot to swim, enjoy the beach and take...More

Do the museum for sure

Nice little museum, read all the info on lobstering, etc. Historic stuff on the big gales and lost ships. Beach very beautiful with some cliff backdrops. Can get very crowded in high season but we were there in September, perfect.

Wonderful place

All the shops were closed but it was a terrific experience . Drag your toes in the sand and it does sing. We all found some glass and enjoyed the beautiful view

Unique beach and warmer waters!

Visited at end of August. Very nice facilities and beach walk. Unique wharf and current float as described in previous reviews. Warmer waters here than in Cavendish. Crowded on sunny afternoon - but ample parking and space to enjoy!
