When I visited Charlottetown, it wasn't anything what I expected. PEI was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined it would be and Charlottetown was no exception. Seen in this photo is a floating dock hub of places to eat. Depending on the tide determines where you are either at street level, or well below. I ate at The Chip Shack but unfortunately was a bit of a disappointment.

Jumping on over to Morelle, PEI where I spent a few days exploring the area, you can find beautiful sandy beaches nearby. What I found interesting is that the north end of PEI is mostly white sandy beaches, the south side are red sand beaches. In Morelle, the land is red but as soon as you hit the beach, it turns white with beautiful large and protected sand dunes. There are no short supply of beaches on PEI so you never feel crowded by people. The north end in this particular location was very little rocks so it's best for swimming and lounging on the beach. It's also the best spot to watch the most incredible sunset ever.
