Prince Edward Island

You drag your feet slowly across the pink sand and listen. You do it again, a little faster, and listen. Not sure if it's a squeak or a whine. It's quite distinctive, though. There is definitely something about this sand.

A loud thud interrupts your pondering. A seagull snatches a mussel in its beak, sails high above the shore and drops it onto the rocks, then dives down to repeat the technique. Just a few more tries and lunch is served. That's a fair bit of work for a meal, you think to yourself, glad to have seen the corner-store looking seafood shop a little ways back.

You return to scrutinizing the sand. Is it a peep? No… It's more like a little yelp. Yeah. Singing sand. Neat.
