Panmure Island, Prince Edward Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Panmure Island is a small Canadian island located off the east coast of Prince Edward Island in the Lot 61 township in Kings County.

Located approximately 1 kilometre from the nearest point on Prince Edward Island, it has been historically connected to PEI by sand bars at low tide, however since the 1960s, an artificial causeway has been in place, carrying a road to the island.

This causeway also created an extensive barrier beach and sand dune formation, which is now protected by Panmure Island Provincial Park (which is not actually located on the island but on the causeway. The causeway has been facing increased wave erosion in recent years and the provincial government has spent millions to attempt to preserve the connection despite rising sea levels and increased storms.

Home to several year round residents, the island hosts numerous visitors in the summer months when its many cottages are fully occupied. The island also features an interesting lighthouse near the northern end of the causeway.
