Points West Coastal Drive

After a very long day yesterday, Shadow let us sleep in. We had a later start to our drive  through scenic rolling countryside in a light rain to Rte 6 known as the Points West Coastal Drive. When we reached the coast along the Gulf of St. Lawrence, we stopped to see the Covehead Harbour Lighthouse, a heritage lighthouse constructed in wood, 27 feet tall. It is the 2nd lighthouse on the site built in 1975.

  

 Next we stopped in the community of  Brackley Beach at The Dunes Studio Gallery & Café. 

 There were Canadian crafts by 50 artists, paintings, pottery, wood carvings.

 

We stopped in North Rustico at a Food Market for groceries before entering PEI National Park and checking into Cavendish Beach Campground. (Our national parks passes from last summer were still good.)

We returned to North Rustico to the famous Fisherman's Wharf     Lobster Suppers which has the longest all-you-can-eat salad  bar. The 60 ft. bar features PEI mussels, seafood chowder, desserts.. You can order a main dish to supplement the bar. I ordered the scallops; Kathy was fine with the salad bar with mussels. It was a real feast and delicious.

We motored 115 km. It reached 24º under clearing skies.
