Today we headed up to Souris which is up on the east tip of the island. This is the port of Souris.
The Souris Lighthouse, it was built in 1880. The last light keeper retired in 1991.
Inside the lighthouse is a museum of sea glass. There is sea glass and sand from all over the world.
They also have examples of where the different colours of sea glass may have originated from.

From Souris we headed up to Basin Head and the Singing Sands Beach.
The beach wasn’t that busy when we arrived, but a couple of hours later when we left there were quite a few people.
Looking back towards the beach area.
The surf looks bigger in this picture than it actually was.
Here is a video of the sound the sand makes when you walk on it. More of a squeak than a song.
There is a wharf and bridge that people were jumping off.
Further down the beach it was empty.
After the beach we drove to East Point, it is the eastern tip of the island.

We did the tour of the lighthouse. The last bit to the top is by a narrow ladder.

On my way down.
This lighthouse was built in 1866.
It showered as we drove back through Charlottetown and left behind a pretty vibrant rainbow.
The other end of the rainbow.
