fly fishing to experiencing deep-sea fishing with one of the local captains to strapping in for a once-in-a-lifetime thrill and experience of hooking a giant bluefin tuna. For those looking for a little less adventure on or off the water, Birdwatching is also a popular pastime for wildlife enthusiasts, and it is common to spot blue herons, eagles, or osprey. Without a doubt, one of the top attractions in the Souris area is Basin Head Provincial Park located just East of the town. The park features a fisheries museum and miles of the best white sandy beaches on the Island. From the historic lighthouse that overlooks the town, to the amazing beaches and activities, Souris draws you in and even though it was a little out of the way on our road trip to Sommo, it was a must-visit for us anytime that we are on the Island.
Continuing our journey, we headed to the East point of the Island on PE-16 for about half an hour along the shore until we found a little piece of PEI paradise called All Points East Campground. This tranquil, family-owned, operated, and focused campground nestled between the shores of North Lake and the Atlantic is Prince Edward Island’s most Eastern campground. Other than an amazing view and beach access, their washroom facilities, including hot showers, are available all season long and are included with your camping fee. The laundry room also acts as a give-and-take library if you are looking to get some reading in as you enjoy a little downtime. Their beautiful in- ground pool is open from late June until mid-September, and it is the perfect place to cool off on a hot day. Plus, the campground is also close to numerous beautiful beaches (two within walking distance), restaurants, and loads of adventure exploring all that Eastern PEI has to offer and a must-stay for anyone looking to camp in Eastern PEI. Back on the road again, heading West on PE-16 for about a half hour until we came upon St. Peters Bay known for having one of the most beautiful views on the island, and a cultural and historical richness that did not disappoint, as this area of PEI is beautiful in so many ways. The area is rooted in the many cultures that have existed on Prince Edward Island from the first Aboriginal peoples, the Mi’kmaq, to the French and Acadian Settlers, and Scottish, Irish, and English immigrants. Just outside of St. Peter, you will find a stunning protected dunes area at Greenwich National Park, which we highly recommend you check out when in the area. Anywhere along St. Peters Bay, you can watch the sunset, as the sky passes through various shades of pink and
