The website recognized Basin Head for having the warmest water north of Florida and for its famous singing sands. It also made note of the park's on-site facilities, services and the nearby Basin Head Fisheries Museum.
“Basin Head Provincial Park beach has long been a favourite among Islanders and visitors alike,” said P.E.I. Tourism Minister Robert Henderson. “Our beaches are well known across Canada and around the world for their relatively warm water and beautiful white sand. They are also a key part of our marketing plan, and a big reason why visitors choose to come here, so this award couldn’t have been better timed.”
Other beaches in the top 10 included nearby hot spots, New Brunswick's Parlee Beach and Sandy Hood beach in the Iles de la Madeleine.
