Reviews of Souris Beach Gateway Park (Museum)

Kristin Ingersoll

What an amazing trip we had. As we were collecting sea glass with our youngsters, a local dropped by, handed over her haul to the kids and told us the tiny pieces were called "Mermaid Tears" - lovely. We had a wonder week in Souris and got a kick out of the beautiful Bald Eagle who perched in the same place each day.

Arlene French

Great place. To visit

Sharon Cormier

Very nice place

David Wice

Enjoyed seeing different parts of our country

Tania Hedge

OMGOSH what a hidden gem. Major offroading to get there but worth the road less traveled

David Woods

Great for finding sea glass!

Suzie Carriere

(Translated) It is not a place I would necessarily vacation, but it was a must see for us. (Original) Ce n'est pas un endroit où je passerais nécessairement mes vacances, mais s'était un must à voir pour nous.

Tracy Stewart

Its really pretty and you can enjoy a ice cream while walking on the beach . The ice cream stand is small but has lots of flavors to choose from. It's as greet rest stop to get out and stretch your legs because its located right along the highway....

(Translated) I would have liked to have stayed longer ... you can get through the day easily. (Original) J'aurais aimé rester plus longtemps ...vous pouvez passer la journée facilement.

Jackie Pineau

Beautiful

William Cain

A view of the water from your windshield. Sterile. Not particularly inviting. A roadside pulloff.

dave walton

Perfect spot for an evening walk or to rent paddle boards or kayaks for a paddle. Pro tip: go when the tide's out.

Carl

Nice chill spot!

Jo Leb

(Translated) Wonderful place (Original) Magnifique endroit

kpl karthic

nice place to take walk on the beach , see the view of a light house from here

Jayme Cuzzort

awesome area

Q.K. Lawson

Nice beach for being so close to a town centre. Shops are nearby where kayaks can be rented and ice cream/lobster can be bought. However, don't make this a destination for a long trip - there are better beaches all over the place.

Trevor Demain

Place to be if you're looking for sea Glass

It has quick access to walk along the salt water. Helps to reset and relax your mind while enjoying the east coast smells.

Diane Baker

My dogs and I loved the boardwalk. It's a nice stop and a beautiful view.

Andre Macinnis

love the ????

Madison McGinnis

Nice park on the water. Would give 5 stars if the washrooms and ice cream shoppe were open.

R dc

The picturesque view from the stand is breathtakingly tranquilizer. The gateway to Souris city forces any passersby to at least stop at this spot. By the highway, it might be a bit unsuitable for people asking for a peaceful noise free environment. The sunset ???? view is the incident i liked most about this place.

Alex Kozjak

Nice selections of products and friendly service. You can pick up sourdough bread prepared for the Inn from here. Beautiful spot to sight see as well

adam arsenault

Nice stop alongside Souris, few nice little shops at this beach

Alan Aitken

Under recognized but with beautiful vistas and views that all should enjoy.

D Lee

Unforgettable and unbeatable views on the beach

angela hamilton

Excellent oysters

Eyad Elbayoumi

Nice place to walk and swim, alot of people waking on the trail. People are nice smiling ????.

Bob Donnelly

Still the best beach in Canada. Lifeguards posted first the swimmers jumping off the channel walls and the bridge. One of Canada's best local traditions. Free parking, lots of shopping kiosks, food, clean bathrooms, - no showers as of this writing (Summer of 2021). All good!!

David Munro

Loved it. Some nice shops. Great beach.

Chris Nicholson

Lobster by the beach, some great shops for PEI products, ice cream and a great beach for a walk

I had the most delicious lobster roll at the Lobster Shack. I was disappointed that they were unable to honor the "Food Island" tourism promotion card, but they said it should be up and running in five to ten business days. Today is July 16.

Julie Therrien Narcis Dumitrescu

(Translated) It is the most beautiful beach we have been to i-p-e. We loved it, the sand is white, the beach is clean, the water is clear. The only downside is the snack on site ... We waited more than an hour to have our order (4 hotdog 1 fries). Plan your lunch! (Original) C'est la plus belle plage où nous sommes allés à l' i-p-e. Nous avons adoré, le sable est blanc, la plage est propre, l'eau est clair. Le seul bémol c'est le casse-croûte sur place ... Nous avons attendu plus d'une heure pour avoir notre commande ( 4 hotdog 1 frite ). Prévoyez votre lunch !

This is a nice beach..fairly popular stopping place as it's just off the road. I was there at low tide and could walk out quite far on the Sandbars. You can watch the ferry leaving for the Iles de la Madeleine from there.

It's my hometown, naturally I love it!

Jean P

(Translated) Beautiful extraordinary beach for children and teenagers. (Original) Belle plage extraordinaire pour enfants et adolescents.

It's wonderful place for family rest ♥️ This beach is different from others ????

Maryse Vallée

(Translated) Good lobster roll. I caught a few scales in my lobster though. It's still quite unpleasant! Served with plain crisps. Fast and effective! (Original) Bonne guédille aux homards. J'ai pogné quelques écailles dans mon homard par contre. C'est quand même assez désagréable! Servi avec chips nature. Rapide et efficace!

beautiful Boardwalk and Lobster Shack I can't beat it nice Beach clean

Luis Marquez

Beautiful sea view. Highly recommend.

Joel Holtz

This is a small beach in comparison to others in PEI, and generally not for swimming. We went there to look for 'sea glass'. We did find some good pieces, but there's A LOT of regular glass pieces, small stones and weeds on this beach. Wearing footwear is a good idea. I can see why people rave about this spot for sea glass. The tide seems to bring a lot of stuff in there. The water is pretty dirty and debris filled. Not a good swimming/sun bathing beach. You're essentially only going there to find sea glass. There is a store there that will make jewelry of the sea glass you find, or you can purchase premade sea glass jewelry. There's also a little diner with free WiFi.

cheryl johnson

So quiet and pleasant

Rob Konkle

Low tide is an awesome way to see crabs, hermit crabs and other ocean life.

Laurie Senra

Beautiful! Clean! Would of loved to spend the day. Only down fall is the ripples hurt your feet if you do a lot of walking on the beach.

sylvie cayouette

(Translated) There are a lot of glasses on the beach, of future sea glass. (Original) Il y a beaucoup de verres sur la plage, de future sea glass.

Bev schell

Not the best beach that PEI offers. It had a beautiful boardwalk though.

Love Souris beach. Find good shells and rocks. Spot a hermit crab or 2 every time I walk the beach. Saw this giant snail on our last beach walk beforw returning to Ontario. Already missing the sand between my toes.

PJ

Beautiful red sand beach. Find some sea glass.

EILEEN Tayes

Incredible

Richard Moreau

(Translated) A nice place to wait for the boat. Walk on the beach and have something to eat. Lobster roll at $ 15 with lots of lobster. Also poke very tasty bowl $ 12-16. Parking and free beach. (Original) Une belle place pour attendre le bateau. Marcher sur la plage et prendre de quoi manger. Lobster roll à 15$ avec beaucoup de homard. Aussi poke bol très savoureux 12-16$. Stationnement et plage gratuit.

Kar Ma

Cute little shops. Lobster shack had wonderful seafood ie. Lobsters. Lobster roll is delicious. Walk on beach and watch those digging for clams when tide is out.

Colin MacPhail

Great Spot!!

Scooter Lastman

Went looking for beach glass, hard to find but a beautiful view

Doug Lee

Need maybe another food service and drinks...nice though...beach lovely...plenty busy. Doug

Carey Rhiness

Looked for sea glass at this location. Not much to be found when we were there but a nice beach nonetheless

Auto Teck

Awesome place. Be careful. People are trying to make sea glass. Don't walk barefoot

Angela Deknibber

Come here for sea glass! You will find more than any one person would want to collect! Beach was quite nice, and the shops right along the beach were great.

Brent

This park could be missed as it is just outside of Souris. When the tides go out it is for a nice to walk out, some folks will even try their hand at clam digging. You can enjoy a walk along the sand and or is it the little shops along the boardwalk. Even put your order in for some fresh Lobster

Sandra Lohnes

Awesome lobster rolls at the lobster shack

Chantale Duguay

(Translated) We visited the fishing museum and we really liked it. (Original) Nous avons visiter le musée de la pèche et nous avons bien aimés.

Dec. Is not the time to be beaching but all in al a good place.

Brenda MacDonald

Lovely boardwalk along the water with a few little stores, restaurants, and ice cream.

Tina Ingemi

Warm shallow water great to swim in, but wear swim shoes because of the seaglass and pottery! Places to change and shower and eat right at the beach as well!

Molly Blais

So beautiful!!!!

Kathy L

Grew up on this beach and it gets prettier every year. Lots of amenities too.

Sean L

Beautiful park, not many people there when we've gone as a family.

Zachary Burlap

Known for sea glass, but we only found recent sharp shards. The businesses are worth the stop, skip the beach.

Ronald Haigh

Spotless & well groomed, with all the amenities you can imagine and reasonably priced

Brenda Nichols

Lots of good health products. Not much real food anymore.

Erin Jones

If sea glass is your thing..this beach has it all. It seems to be endless to walk but it provided such entertainment for our children without worry of losing them. They were always within sight and parking was more than adequate. There were a few food options and bathrooms on site. A great day well spent.

Nick Labrie

The beach was beautiful and the Lobster roll was amazing!

Robin Langston

Beautiful spot

Joe Hazelden

A beautiful beach to walk on.

Julie Brisson

Beautiful view and the boardwalk is just great

Luc van Eenbergen

Lovely place to visit

Kristen Kelly

Beautiful views! There is a splash pad and little playground for kids. This isn't a beach with alot of sand to sit out in. More of tide pools for kids to play in and wet sand. I didn't see any type of ramp to the beach either. There is also lots of signs about glass and metal garbage as this was once a dump site. Nice stop with older kids.

Robert Gelineau

Very nice place
