A sunny day with a breeze made for perfect conditions after several days of rain. We spent the day with family at Chelton Beach Park and started with a picnic.
This beach is on the south shore of the island near the Confederation Bridge, visible in the distance.
After lunch, we headed to the beach where it was low tide, creating tidal pools which we love to explore.
We found seaweed, hermit crabs and small fish known locally as bait fish.
In the distance, the lighthouse at Seacow Head looked to be enjoying the summer day too.
Down the beach, a dog looked to be experiencing the ocean for the first time. It was a pleasure to watch its prancing and dancing along the beach and into the waves.
Any time we are at the beach, our grandson has his dump truck and digger with him.
The children love the water but also enjoy playing in the sand.
Meanwhile, in the air, several species of gulls floated on the breeze
and hung around with our family enjoying the water.
Nearby another family made a huge sandcastle which we watched for several hours as the Northumberland Strait reclaimed it.
And finally, you never know where you’ll see a Canadian flag.

what an awesome day at the beach, starting with my favorite, a picnic!! the water looks so pretty, i love when it sparkles like that!!
i'm sure the kids had an awesome time and wow, that sandcastle looks to be huge and quite a work of art!!
That looks and sounds like a totally wonderful day. Thank you.
I think dogs enjoy the beach almost as much as humans do. That's an awesome digger!
Brings back lovely memories of days gone by. Don't you wish you could gather them all and remember all the details? But, we are called to live in the moment and you and yours seem to do quite well.
Beaches are wonderful places for family fun and entertainment. I love exploring tide pools, too.
Such a wonderfully happy time at the beach, with the incredible back drop of the Confederation Bridge.
I love the Canadian flag reflection.
Wonderful! I smiled at the flag reflection, too.
A lovely sandcastle; and a handsome flag, too.
Beautiful . It looks like a perfect place for family fun for all ages.
I love the beach. You don't seem to have many shells on your beaches. I honestly haven't been in so long but just thinking about it, I can feel the sand between my toes.
Title pools are interesting.
Coffee is on and stay safe
This all looks very appealing, Marie.
Wow! That bridge is so long!
GrandSon4 loves his diggers too. But isn't the water quite cold? It's chilly enough here!
Love all your photos!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful day
Your day at the beach with the grandkids looks spectacular.
There is nothing like digging in the sand and exploring.
Terrific photos...I can almost smell the salty air.

Absolutely glorious. What a wonderful place for kids and adults to play. That is the best sand castle I have ever seen.
Hello,
Sounds like my kind of day, pretty views and scenes from your day at the beach. I like to explore the tidal pools. The dog running in the water looks happy. Take care, have a happy day!
Two birds and bridge is a real winner. I was terrified when I drove that bridge. I also love the reflection shot.
Envying you your ocean.
Marie, Could there be a better summertime post? I don’t think so. It does look like you had a great day at the beach and I enjoyed all the photos. I’m learning so much about PEI from your posts. My curiosity was piqued by your first photo and your mention of the Confederation Bridge. Of course, I wanted to know more.

The world’s longest bridge over ice-covered water. What an interesting story on how the bridge came to be and how it divided PEI residents on construction or not. I would enjoy hearing where you stand on that. John
That was absolutely the best day at the seaside Marie. Read above comment just before I was about to Google the Confederation Bridge myself, I haven't seen such a long bridge before, what an amazing endeavour ✨
Such beautiful pictures of such a wonderful day! I can just smell that fresh salt air, the cries of the sea gulls, and the happy sounds of children playing in the water! Special moments indeed! Glad that you were able to enjoy this beautiful day with your family!
That was a very enjoyable day at the beach.
At the Olympics.
Idyllic.
