Panmure Island, Prince Edward Island, Canada

Panmure Island is a small provincial park on the eastern coast of Prince Edward Island. Originally, Panmure Island was only connected to mainland PEI at low-tide - when a naturally forming sand bar was visible. However, in the 1960's, the government of Prince Edward Island decided to make the connection permanent by building a causeway. Alongside the causeway - on the other side of a long expansive sand dune - lies a beautiful white-sand beach.
This is one of a few narrow pathways through the sand dunes that link a parking lot to Panmure Island beach.
