PEI - Eastern side - Aug 2021 Day 2

 After a great breakfast with tons of food, Fruit cocktail, muffins and a full breakfats, we decided to explored the shoreline of the eastern point of PEI stopping at many beach along the way.





Our first stop is at Naufrage which is only 20KM from our b&B.  Many lobster fishing boats here. The season is now over for this area otherwise they would all be out fishing.







There a 1 KM beach here.







A quick visit to the lighthouse which is called Shipwreck Point Lighthouse


More country side driving





A quick stop at Campbell Cove but did not go down to the beach




Next stop is at North Lake.  PEI is a popular spot for tuna fishing. One of the charter boat was coming in. They told me it was catch & release only with a 3 tuna limit per outing. They were lucky today and were back early as they reach the limit. Maybe something to do some day.

The boat name is Tuna Clipper.




Tuna Tails




The girls went for a nice long walk on the beach while I was taking pictures of boats etc...



A little further down the road is the East Point Lighthouse which is the furthest point east in PEI.



We made it to Basin Head beach hoping to find something to eat but nothing picked our fancy, so just a quick stop. Must be very busy on the weekends as the parking lot was hugh.




We made our way to Souris which is was just a little bit further. This is where you catch the 5 hour ferry to Ile de la Madelaine.  Souris is a medium size town and we figured we could find something good to eat here.  We got lobster rolls and sat on the patio overlooking the bay








This area is an Acadian area


From here we drove to go visit The Inn at Bay Fortune.  This is a 5 star place with them growing much of their own food.

Their sister property: The Inn at Fortune Bridge






I was happy to see it, the girls not so much

A quick stop at the wharf at Fortune Bay


The beach at Fortune Bay where we went for a nice walk on the beach


This region of PEI has a few Meionites family 




A stop at Cows was needed before finishing the drive home




A fun 2 days on PEI
