Today we visited the Greenwich section of PEI National Park, and other points east of Dalvay.
The Greenwich Interpretation Centre and Greenwich Beach were closed, but the Greenwich Dunes Trail was open. The trail crosses Bowley Pond on a new floating boardwalk:
The trail leads to the parabolic Greenwich Dunes and the coast:
We drove portions of the scenic Points East Coastal Drive today. The photo below is a recently plowed and seeded field on the southern edge of St. Peters Bay:
The bay itself was also being actively farmed – for mussels. From the sign at the lookout:
The Bay is dotted with rows of buoys suspending mussel socks filled with cultured P.E.I. Blue Mussels.
We saw many fields like this being tilled or planted in a rotation of potatoes, grain, and hay. And we saw many bays like this being farmed for either mussels or oysters. Potatoes, mussels, and oysters were all tasty.
The photo below is from the east coast of Prince Edward Island, near Sally's Beach Provincial Park (which was closed):
