Basin Head Beach is part of Basin Head Provincial Park, and located just off Route 16, it's one of the best stops on the way to the easternmost tip of P.E.I. The beach is particularly famous for its "singing sands," which squeak when you walk on them, but it's a beautiful beach in its own right. The white sand is perfectly suited to relaxing or building sand castles, and the water is warm enough to swim in during the summer months. The beach is supervised during peak times, and amenities include a public washroom with showers, a children's play area, and a canteen.
