The weather was amazing today ~ 80's, sunny, no humidity! We decided to spend the day at Basin Head Provincial Park ~ in part because it is a beautiful area, and in part because Brad was under the impression that the waters here were the warmest waters north of North Carolina. Let's unpack those two statements, shall we?
Yes - it was a beautiful beach.....this is what it looked like when we arrived at 10am. (It was about an hour and fifteen minutes from Charlottetown.)
It was also popular ~ this is what it looked like when we left, around 2pm....
The beach is divided into two sections by a channel, known as "the run," which is a a popular area for people to jump into the deep water.
Ironically, this sign is posted by the ladder people use to get out of the channel after jumping.....😉
Now let's address the "warmest waters north of North Carolina" statement. Here is the daily board ~ notice the water temperature.....
A little math.......15 degrees Celsius = 59 degrees Fahrenheit. That is not warm, not at all. In fact, neither of us went past our hips. 😂
After we left the beach, we grabbed a lobster roll at The Lobster Shack....
It was fine/good ~ not at all as good as Richard's lobster rolls that we enjoyed last week.
We then checked out the Souris Historic Lighthouse, built in 1880 at a cost of $630!
So all-in-all, even with the cold water, we had an awesome day! 😎
