Basin Head Provincial Park, Provincial park in Kings County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Basin Head Provincial Park extends along the Northumberland Strait, featuring a white silica sand beach divided by a channel called the run.
The harbor at Basin Head opened in 1938, supporting up to 30 fishing boats with structures including fishermen shacks and a bunkhouse for workers.
The Basin Head Fisheries Museum, established in 1973, exhibits the maritime traditions and showcases the local fishing industry development through educational displays.
The park provides washrooms, showers, beach wheelchair access, concession stands, and a children's play area, located 13 kilometers east of Souris.
The beach contains white silica sand that produces distinct sounds when walked upon, leading to its designation as Singing Sands Beach.
