rfmcdonaldThe village of Victoria, located on the southern Northumberland Strait shore of Prince Edward Island roughly midway between the capital of Charlottetown to the east and the second city of Summerside to the west, is a lot like Ontario's community of Port Hope. Once regional centre located directly on a major travel route, both were bypassed by the beginning of the 20th century by road changes (in Victoria's case, by the Island's branch of the Trans-Canada Highway moving north to Crapaud), leaving vintage Victorian town centres intact for late 20th century tourists to discover. Victoria (branded by locals now as Victoria-by-the-Sea) is much smaller than Port Hope, being home to barely a couple hundred people in tourist season, but the general principle is the same.
These photos were taken on the shoreline a couple of kilometres east of Victoria, on a dirty road that cut down to the surf. It was gorgeous. (The first of these photos is now my cell phone's wallpaper.)
