DAY FIVE
What to do?
One can’t go to Prince Edward Island and not visit a proper red sand beach. Although these can be found on the north side of the island, there are a plethora on the south side, too. In fact, there’s a whole region of the island dubbed “Red Sands Shore.”
Heading west out of Charlottetown, you’ll soon get to Argyle Shore Provincial Park. The park doesn’t have lifeguards, but it does have washrooms and picnic tables. We packed a lunch and enjoyed it under the trees looking out over the cliffs to the red sand beach.
Being there at low tide means not just red sand but red mud! The kids loved it! Squashing feet and spreading red mud all over your body is a great way to round out a family vacation on the island.
KidTripster Tip: Red mud can be tough to wash out of clothes, so don’t wear anything that you’re too attached to. Lesson learned!
