shoppers as they enjoy
the 13th annual 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale. Take the Northumberland
Ferry to Wood Islands and arrive at the starting point. The
yard sale route follows the stunning coastline and hills and
valleys of south eastern PEI, west to Vernon Bridge, east to
Beach Point and all communities in between. Over 150 sites
offer antiques, collectibles and just about anything imaginable.
Sites are held at private homes, community halls, churches
and small businesses. See country roads and properties you
would miss on any other weekend. 
Local
attractions and services: There are three historic lighthouses
in the area. The Wood Islands lighthouse, built in 1874, is
now a museum featuring several exhibits of local seafaring
history. The Point Prim lighthouse is the only round, brick
lighthouse on PEI. The Cape Bear Marconi Station received the
first distress signals from the Titanic. Each is well worth
a visit. There are excellent golf courses in Belfast and Murray
River, motels, restaurants and service stations and beautiful
provincial parks with camping available.
