Prince Edward Island: Panmure Island Provincial Park
Panmure Island features one of the most popular white sand beaches on PEI.
The park provides life-guards for its supervised swimming areas.
The location along a causeway gives water access on both sides of the highway
with the sheltered St. Mary's Bay on one side and an ocean beach on the
other. The sand dunes on the ocean side provide a secluded atmosphere with
long stretches of shoreline and a vast view of the ocean makes Panmure
Island a beach lover's haven. Tours are offered at historic Panmure Island
Lighthouse.
The First Nations People hold an annual Pow Wow at Panmure Island. This
spiritual/cultural event, attracting visitors from Eastern Canada and the
New England states, includes drum bands, native crafts and a healing sweat
tent.
Nearby Attractions include
Buffalo land Provincial Park, Harvey Moore
