Panmure Island is an island off the island, connected to PEI by a causeway. The causeway has beaches on both sides meaning visitors have two beach options. On one side is a white sand ocean beach with beautiful panoramic views of the ocean, and the other is the sheltered red sand St. Mary’s Bay beach, a prime spot for clam digging. The beach has lifeguard supervision in the summer and a scenic watchtower. The provincial park campground has washrooms, showers, laundromat, picnic tables and change rooms. Visitors can go for a tour at the historic lighthouse on the island, the oldest wooden lighthouse in PEI. The island has an annual Pow Wow held by the First Nations people, which has a drum band, a sweat tent and crafts.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
