rfmcdonaldIf there was any doubt, be assured that this image isn't one I took, but something that I extracted from Google Earth during my recuperation time. Annoyingly enough, the beach resort community of Cavendish is divided between low- and high-resolution images--Green Gables House falls into the second category, amazingly--but there's still enough to work with.
This image is of a slice of Cavendish Beach, likely the most trafficked beach of the Prince Edward Island National Park, located almost squarely in the middle of the great half-circle coastline that separates the Island from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
High-altitude though it is, the image captures most of the beaches' featuring, with the parking lots next to the Parks Canada interpretive centres which feed into the wooden boardwalks that extend over the marram grass-laced dunes to the beach of white sand and sandstone rocks, with the white-capped waves breaking off-shore.
Would you believe that at one time I thought all beaches were like that, more or less?
