Black Pond Bird Sanctuary

This bird sanctuary is one of the most important waterfowl habitats in eastern Prince Edward Island, and home to nesting ducks and teals. Flocks of geese, wigeons, and Common Goldeneyes also stop at the sanctuary during different times of the year along their migrations. The pond itself is a shallow freshwater lake that freezes over during winter, and is a great to catch glimpses of some of the 333 species of birds found on Prince Edward Island. The sanctuary’s south side gives way to Little Harbour Beach, a lesser-known, lovely sliver of sand that connects to Red Point Provincial Park to the east.
