Basin Head

Overview

Introduction

Basin Head, a community near the eastern tip of Prince Edward Island (about 56 mi/90 km east of Charlottetown), is home to the Basin Head Fisheries Museum (documenting the history of fishing in local waters). After visiting the museum, linger on the beach, which is home to the mysterious "singing sands." A strange squeaking sound is emitted when you walk across the sand, and although there are several theories, no one has yet come up with the definitive reason why this happens.
