Travelling the west coast of PEI

We spent our first night on PEI in a little harbour town called Montague; very picturesque and, as we found the next day, an interesting museum set up in the old post office. We followed the coastal route for part of the way and then travelled across country to the town of St Peter on the northern coast. Noted for its rich culture and history St Peters bay contains traces left by PEI's first peoples; aboriginals, French, Acadian, Scottish, Irish, and English. We drove out to the point where the Provincial Park includes a lovely new Interpretation Centre and several trails. We took the one that cross a swamp on a board walk leading to some impressive sand dunes.
