Day 10 – Georgetown to Little Sands – 69 km (42.5 miles)

After breakfast in the pub at the inn, we pulled our bikes out of the storage shed and were greeted by another gorgeous day. We rode a short section of the Confederation Trail to the little village of Montague. The part of the trail we are on today is a branch line off the main line we’ve been riding. It ended at the ocean, and that’s where we started our ride.

The short ride to Montague was beautiful.

As we got into Montague, the views opened up to a cozy harbor and beautiful little village nestled in the cove. We spent quite a bit of time in Montague, and ate an early lunch at the restored train depot.

After Montague, our route took us along the county roads with occasional views of the water. We made really good time in this section because I didn’t take as many pictures and we had the wind to our backs thankfully.

We stopped at Murray River and I took photos of the little harbor, and we had an ice cream.

After the ice cream break, we continued on the roadway, growing closer to the water. The last leg of the ride took us down a country road to the coast. It was a sand road, but surprisingly firm with just a couple of soft spots.

Tonight we are staying at the Cliffside Inn in Little Sands. It’s a remote area with a long driveway that took us off the road to the inn. The inn sits on a cliff overlooking the Northumberland Strait with Nova Scotia visible in the distance.

Knowing dinner options were very limited, George (PEI Guide and Drive Service) had called us on the trail and offered to pick up something for us to grill. He said he’d drop it off when he dropped off our luggage. We gladly took his offer and when we arrived at the inn, the innkeeper said we had steaks and baked potatoes ready to grill. We grilled the steaks on the deck and the innkeeper baked the potatoes for us. He provided all the utensils and seasoning we needed. It was delicious after our ride today.
