Hello Anne,

Thank you for your question to Ask an Islander.

The southern side of the Island coast along the Northumberland Strait is noted for the red sand beaches. Argyle Shore and Canoe Cove are two great areas to experience a red sand beach.  In addition,  Chelton Beach is a special red sand beach with picturesque views of the Confederation Bridge and the historic Seacow Head Lighthouse.

Regards,

Kevin
