July 18, 21 PEI Red Sand Shores & North Cape

Weather mid 70's today, sunny.   cool at night we shut the windows.
When you come over the bridge and head towards Charlottetown there is an area called the Red Sand Shores.  Boy is it red!   You cannot believe how red the sand is..... when we stopped to walk on the beach the tide was out which was perfect.  Just looked very weird to us !!!
little village of Victoria

Turning the opposite way takes you on a ride through the North Cape Coastal Drive.  Some Acadia influence here, French heritage settlers.  The church we stopped at had a very old cemetary with a beautiful view of the water.  The strange thing was that almost all the stones were either Arsenault or Gallant and a few Poirer.  So basically 3 families seemed to be here, and it looked like they married into each others families too.   Small community?


Farther down the coast there is a fellow that built a house using glass bottles and its a bit of a tourist trap so we snuck a picture of it without paying to go in.  The gardens were beautiful.
