I am planning a trip to PEI in September and would like to metal detect any public beaches. I was wondering if I need a permit to do so and where would I obtain one. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ed,
Thank you for reaching out. Metal detecting is allowed on most beaches in Prince Edward Island. There are; however, places and beaches where it is not allowed.
Metal detecting is not allowed on the beaches or properties of the Prince Edward Island National Park.
Have fun!

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
