PEI beaches

Even though the water was warm it was nice to have the wetsuits

St. Peter's Harbour, great waves, no boards or suits!!

Ahhh, the beautiful beaches of PEI

Well, I must say, I was very sad to leave PEI. We could have stayed for another week easily! Unfortunately the campsite was booked and so we had to move on. We had gorgeous weather the whole week that we were here. The waves never got as big as they were on the Sunday when we had no boards but we did get some good runs in. As you can see on the pictures the beaches are just gorgeous and I could have easily spent 5 or 6 more days enjoying them. All the kids found friends in the campsite and the people who camped around us were just so friendly. Can't beat the Islanders for hospitality. We had kids at our fire for s'mores and we had invitations to other fires throughout the week.

One of the fishermen brought a trap to show the kids and explained the whole process. He makes all his traps by hand. We saw lots of old traps for sale and are a little disappointed that we didn't buy one. Maybe we can find one in Nova Scotia. We tried some Barr Clams and we were invited to the West Cape of the island for a ride in a tuna boat....we never did make that though. The tuna season is open but unfortunately we never did see a boat coming in with one.
