Joanie’s Summer Guidebook
Food scene
You won’t be sorry! 20 minutes from the cottage in the beautiful seaside village of Victoria By The Sea. You’ll enjoy the food, and you’ll enjoy the vibe. Stroll along and let the sea water relax you.
Richards can also be found in Covehead, along the beach. So maybe you spend the day IN the water/sand & grab yourself some lunch or dinner. It’s worth the wait.
And now they have a 3rd location on your way to Brackley Beach!

A perfect place to bring the kids & beach chairs for a day of exploring the bright red sand & cliffs. The place where Mi’kmaq (PEI First Nations People) brought British solders ashore by canoe (hence the name). Check the tides before you go, it’s more fun at low tide when the beach is at its widest & the tidal pools are full of crabs, starfish & sea life! Less than 10 minutes from the cottage.
