Elmamketik – Mi’kmaq for Bell’s Point
“The place where the sand extends away from”

During the 19^th and early 20^th century, this area at Bell’s Point, being the closest to Cape Tormentine, NB,  known as the Abegweit Passage became the main “traverse” for maintaining commerce between the island and the rest of Canada. Thus, the appropriate name “Cape Traverse.”

The local, intrepid mariners worked each winter to keep this route operational by using iceboats as the only means of contact and commerce across the treacherous Northumberland Strait. This often needed to be done during hazardous and life-threatening passages.

Sunset Dunes was created as a new community and developed by local businessman, Shaun MacIsaac in 2003. He originally envisioned this to be a spectacular, waterfront, vacation cottage subdivision. Twenty years later, it is now a premiere Prince Edward Island subdivision that is largely populated with year-round residents who enjoy the natural, serene lifestyle that this community offers in abundance.
