Welcome to the official website on basin head, prince edward island
Basin Head is located off route 16, east of the town of Souris on the way to the most Eastern tip of PEI. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Basin Head is a day use park featuring a supervised white sand beach, play area, food on site, washroom and shower facilities. The park is also home to the Basin Head Fisheries Museum which is dedicated to maintaining the history of fisheries in that area.
Having grown up in the area, the beach is one of my most favorite spots on earth having spent most of my childhood summers there. Basin Head beach itself extends NE for many kilometers lending itself to long walks and beach combing. The water is warm during the summer months and the sand is fine. Called the “singing sands” since the sand squeaks when you walk on it.
