Christmas lights and decorations at Prince County Hospital in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Further East on the North Shore you will come to North Lake Harbour, a small but important fishing community. I've included this not so great, crowded image to illustrate the popularity of the Cape Islander throughout the Maritimes. "A Cape Islander, a style of fishing boat mostly used for lobster fishing, is an inshore motor fishing boat found across Atlantic Canada having a single keeled flat bottom at the stern and more rounded towards the bow. The Cape Island style boat is famous for its large step up to the bow. They are known for being good "sea" boats, and riding the swells well."
King's Castle Provincial Park, Prince Edward Island. It is located on Gladstone Road just east of Murray River. One of the best kept secrets of the Island. This is the ideal place to bring younger kids up to about 10 and it's free.
I went here with my 3rd cousins (4 and 5 years old). We met with a few other friends and family. In all there were 9 kids. They all had a great time and not one of them wanted to leave at the end of the day. This place was absolutely the best. From the merry-go-round, to the swings, to the many different slides, to the wooden castle. The kids played on and explored them all.
There's a washroom, canteen, some vending machines, ample shade with all the surrounding trees and a lot of picnic tables. The staff here is fantastic and very friendly. You can bbq here. We thought there would be fire pits or something so we didn't bring a bbq of our own. The staff loaned us one they kept in a shed.
Murray river is right on the shore of the park and there's actually a trailer park (not sure if the trailer park portion is free) on the other side of the trees. Definitely worth a trip if you're ever on the Island with younger kids.

When I came upon this beach on the eastern shore of Prince Edward Island it looked as if a ton or more of leaf lettuce had been scattered along the shoreline to wilt in the sun. Of course, it was seaweed that had washed up when the previous high tide had receded but it was still a vivid green hours later. It made for an interesting color contrast with the red rock hills in the background and the red sand beach.
