Basin Head Provincial Park is a provincial park located in Basin Head,
Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is best known by its nickname
"Singing Sands", in reference to the pure white sand that "sings" when
stepped on, due to a high silica content. This sand is geologically
unique to the area.
Basin Head Provincial Park features a fisheries museum, souvenir
shops, and interpretive center. The beach itself is split into two sections,
divided by a channel (known locally as the 'run'). A bridge spans
the 'run', and is a popular attraction for jumping and diving. It is open
as a tourist attraction, operated by Tourism PEI, during the summer
months.
