To give you some context, Les Isles de la Madeleine is that little collection of islands in the middle of this map, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The islands are in the province of Quebec. The Gaspee Peninsula, also in Quebec, is to the northwest (upper left corner). New Brunswick is due west,; Newfoundland is to the northeast. The red marker is on Souris, PEI, where the ferry begins the 5 hour crossing. Cape Breton, in Nova Scotia, is the land mass due east of PEI, and the rest of Nova Scotia is directly south of PEI.

| Here's a closeup of the archipelago. There are eight islands in all; six are connected by sand dunes. We could have bicycled to all six, but we didn't. Of the other two islands, one, Isle de'Entree, is accessible by another ferry. The other, Brion Island, is 16 km. north of the rest and an ecological reserve that is uninhabited by humans and difficult to get to. |
Our campground, Parc de Gros-Cap, was only a few miles from the ferry landing in Cap-Aux-Meules and we easily arrived before dark. The pictures below were taken Saturday morning.
