Turn left onto Route 18A and take a short side trip to the Log Cabin Museum. The museum is privately owned and operated and has a nice collection of antiques. It is well worth the side trip and admission is only $2.00 for adults.

Turn right and enter Murray Harbour, a small fishing village on a side channel of the main river. Around P.E.I. there are 38 small harbours housing more than 1400 fishing boats. During the fishing season, 30 boats call Murray Harbour home.

We’ve been travelling for a while now and you must be getting hungry. Brehaut’s Restaurant has been a local favourite for 20 years. They serve a variety of enjoyable food in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

There is a large mussel farm here. Stop in and buy some fresh mussels for your lunch, dinner or just for a snack. See why P.E.I. has become one of the world leaders in cultured mussels.You can also walk down to the water, picnic on the grass and see the mussel floats in the water.

The area here is mixed forest and ponds and is a good place to watch local birds.
