What Makes Canada Cool?
The Sands 'Sing' on Prince Edward Island
Hiker Trans Canada Trail Souris, P.E.I. - At the eastern tip of P.E.I., just northeast of Souris, there’s a spectacular golden sand beach that sings when you walk on it. Actually, the sound is a little more like a squeak, but it's distinctive and mysterious. It's a phenomena that scientists still don't completely understand. 'Singing Sands' have been reported on beaches in the North of Wales, on the little island of Eigg in the Scottish Hebrides and at a number of beaches along the Atlantic Coast. Studies have found that squeaking or whistling sand is found where quartz sand is very well rounded and highly spherical. P.E.I.'s Singing Sands are at Basin Head Beach (it’s often referred to as Singing Sands Beach). Many consider this to be the best beach on the island. From the nearby town of Souris you can travel by ferry (five hours, daily) to the Magdalen Islands. P.E.I. Webcam. Keep Exploring with the Canada Cool Travel Map
