Basin Head Provincial Park, Provincial park in Kings County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Basin Head Provincial Park is a provincial park at Basin Head, about 13 kilometres east of Souris, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Its white silica sand beach is split into two sections by a channel called the run, crossed by a bridge used for jumping and diving. The site holds a fisheries museum, gift shops and an interpretive centre, and is operated by Tourism PEI in summer.

Basin Head got its name from its wide, bowl-shaped form. In 1937 a harbour and wharf were built there, with dredging that created the large sand dunes still on the beach; the harbour opened in 1938 and was dredged again in 1959. At its peak, about 25 to 30 boats fished out of Basin Head, and up to twenty fishermen's shacks and a bunkhouse stood on the cape. The Basin Head Fisheries Museum was built in 1973 under the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation, and in 1995-96 the Eastern Kings Development Association added a boardwalk, gift shops and a children's play village.

The Fisheries Museum inside the park shows old boats, gear, and personal stories from local fishing families. Walking through it gives a real sense of how closely tied people here were to the sea and the seasons.

The park sits east of Souris and is best visited on a dry summer day, since the sand's special quality is most noticeable when it is dry. Both the beach and the fisheries museum are easy to reach from the main entrance, so it is worth setting aside time for each.

The white quartz sand on the beach makes a squeaking sound when you walk on it, which has earned the beach the local nickname "singing sands." This happens only when the sand is dry and the grains are of a specific size, making it a relatively rare thing to find on any beach in the world.
