Today’s walk took me 12.3 mi (19.7 km) past North Cape, the northwestern most part of PEI. Most of the walk was with a misty fog and gusts of headwind up to the Cape which changed to sidewinds past the Cape. An exciting boardwalk 5 km nature trail just before arriving at the Cape offered astounding views of the landscape: marshland, sandstone cliffs dropping down to the ocean, black bog, all in the midst of the giant windmills whirring in the background.
The Wind Energy Institute of Canada hosts an interesting Interpretive Center at the Cape that I visited—very professionally appointed.
Other points of interest along the way include the many wooden lobster traps I spotted, the North Cape Lighthouse, and the Seacow Pond, a small fishing boat harbor.
