Take a tour of the Basin Head Fisheries Museum, situated on a bluff overlooking the beautiful Northumberland Strait. The Museum tells the story of the Island’s ongoing relationship with the sea, with a special focus on those who work in fisheries.

Get up close with lobster traps, ice boats and lighthouse lenses, and learn about amazing creatures that live in our rivers and along our coasts.

The Fisheries Museum is one of seven provincial heritage sites administered by the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation. You can purchase Heritage Passports that grant access to all seven provincial sites, with senior, student, and family rates available. Gift shop and Museum open daily throughout the season. Stay tuned for opening day 2025!
