Review:
Basin Head Beach is a day-use park boasting a supervised white-sand beach, food court, play area, shower facilities, and washrooms located off Route 16 on Prince Edward Island. Similar to Singing Sands Beach, the sands here are famously known for their singing made by the high content of silica found in the sand. When walked upon the sand literally emits a sound similar to that of singing although some believe it have a more squeaking quality. There is a narrow channel that runs to a tiny inland pond splitting the beach in two, which depending on the tide can make swimming conditions hazardous. Swimmers must use caution or wait until the summer season when lifeguards are present.
