I'm glad that you found that. I've been asking "What makes Nova Scotia rocks red?". It does depend on the question you ask. Surely the red sand has the same origin as the red rock.

It is pretty. I remember it from when we were in Nova Scotia decades ago. I did some research on this myself yesterday and couldn’t find anything either. Surprising.

Just googled "what makes PEI soil red", answer is high iron oxide content. Sometimes with google it seems to be how you ask the question that determines what answer you get?

That is the obvious answer, but nothing I have found doing Google searches references iron content or iron oxide.

That was our thought, but I can find anything online that mentions iron or iron oxide.

Certainly my guess also. The red color is from the red iron oxide.

This beach is red, is that clay or red sand!

Just wondering, is the red colour due to high iron content?

Beautiful view of the river. A good place for picnic or camping.
There's an animal standing out there; is that real!

Moncton and Shediac! We biked through here on our first anniversary tour. I can still picture the terns diving into the bay at Shediac.

We like to have a protected safe route across bridges. This one was good.

It is a hotel.

That red building at the left side, is that a house or a restaurant. It is an eye catcher!

If all the rivers have a protective fence like this, it makes it a safer place!
