Hi Cathy!

Thank you for reaching out. Yours is a very short and sweet question, but oh so difficult to answer!

Prince Edward Island has over 1,100 kilometres of coastline and no matter where you are on the island, you're never more than 15 minutes from a beach. 

The Prince Edward Island National Park beaches are stunning but sometimes very popular. 

The Points East Coastal Drive region boasts 50 phenomenal beaches! The beach at Basin Head Provincial Park is one of those 50. If I was forced to pick the best, I would suggest it. It was voted one of Canada's top 10 beaches, also known as the Singing Sands Beach

Enjoy!

Valerie
