Close to the eastern tip of P.E.I., just northeast of Souris, there’s a spectacular golden sand beach that the locals say sings or squeaks when you walk on it. Although many consider this to be the best beach on the island, we were unable to hear the squeaks because it was had been raining. The quartz in the sand along with it's shape enables a high pitch sound to be emmitted while rubbing the gains of sand together as when you walk on it. However, it has to be dry for that to happen. We did however enjoy the beach and all of the activities that abound there.
