In 1977 I lived right across the road from there in a little cabin. We used to jump onto a little 8 person boat to get to Charlottetown for about $2. There weren't that many homes on the point back then, and it was an amazing natural playground to grow up in. In winter the nearby Lake Aberdeen was a perfect skating rink. Also, the neighbouring cove by the wharf was our heated swimming pool. If the tide was out during the morning, the sun would bake the sand heating up the returning tide. Great memories, thanks for the video!

I remember going over to rocky point on the ferry as a child!

That was interesting,thought you’d see more bottles etc,looked like a great area

[@rivervidsyt]

That's a great point. I am surprised too. It's great to go to an area and not find any garbage.
