Reviews of Souris Beach Gateway Park (Zoo)

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.

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

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....

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!

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.

J Chan

Awesome beach. Can dive off the pier. Great current you can float down. My favorite beach in PEI.

Anuj Sood

Good small beach. Ample parking. Nothing much to do though.

Mark MacDonald

What a transformation here. Wonderful place to relax. Nice shops to grab a bite to eat or pick up a souvenir. The new deck is awesome. Splash park for the little ones. Souris is doing it right at the beach.

Pam Kozak

Oysters and a lobster roll at the Lobster Shack! Yum! ???????? August 2021

Roseanne Mossey

Beautiful beach easy access, wonderful to swim and great place to take a walk. There is a lovely park for the kids as well an ice cream stand. Some fantastic shops to enjoy and the Lobster Shack which offers a delicious Seafood menu, guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds.

Evelyn Lush

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.

Madison McGinnis

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

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

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!!

Andria Leaman

Great spot to pick seaglass and seapottery had a great time!

Linda Rankin

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.

Lots of parking... Great boardwalk.. Sandy Beach... Restaurants all within walking distance.. Beautiful harbour.

Gloria Brunn

Beautiful!! Great lobster roll! Free WiFi! Spectacular beach!

brendalee bush

I had put my feet in the warm salt water and had fun with my feet in the sand

Terri Travels

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.

Lynn-Ann Hebert McCormack

It's my hometown, naturally I love it!

Great beach. Plenty of sand and surf for everyone. A short walk and you can be all alone on a wide beach with big sky. And there's great ice cream and cold lobster right by the parking lot.

Joel

Great food, nice setting.

Alan Aitken

Great boardwalk with some interesting shops in a beautiful location on a lovely clean beach.

Irene Gedney

Lovely place, beach, food, ice cream, splash pad for kids, and sometimes you can view eagles or if walking on beach you might find sea glass.

darren “hammer head” hitchcock

The area is very clean and friendly people and the beach is just wonderful and a place to wash your feet and yourselves outdoor showers are available it's really nice place

William “Ray” Drysdale

Very nice view, also for a little walk along the water.

Steve Wilson

Great views, kite surfers were having a blast

Jonathan Henderson

Took a very nice lady here. Wouldn't have gone without her. Lots of sea glass to be found. Wear some shoes cause some of it is still sharp. But it can be a nice walk with someone.

Donna Brown

Beautiful Beach and A Lobster Shack to see live lobsters and buy lobster as well

Alison Baldwin

A good adventure along the way. Difficult finding glass as displayed in the little Shop on the board walk. Highly recommend wearing something on your feet as there is a lot of sharp pieces of glass.

Wayne Briggs

Nice beach. It has washroom and shower facilities but where not open during my visit. Beware the large glass on the beach.

Stacey Anderson

Was a Great beach on the way to Basin Head Beach. Public restroom was clean and tidy. Beach was also very clean.

Peter Melnyk

Great place to go, good food also

Arlie MacDonald

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.

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.

Bev schell

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

Amelia MacDonald

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.

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.

Doug Lee

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

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

Steven Buell

If you like to breathe fresh air and relax great spot to checkout.

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!

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!

Julie Brisson

Beautiful view and the boardwalk is just great

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.
