As a child, Beth Johnson was warned by her parents not to walk on the dunes at Prince Edward Island’s Cavendish Beach because it would disturb the endangered plover nests and the root system of the marram grass.
Across the rest of Prince Edward Island hearts are heavy for another reason. Teacup Rock was part of the sandstone cliffs on the island’s north shore. Over the years, though, the Atlantic waters had eroded the formation on Thunder Cove Beach, until it stood by itself, the sides narrowed precariously at the base until it resembled a teacup.
Fiona was the one. The morning after it roared through the region friends in nearby Malpeque texted him to say that the iconic rock had collapsed.He and his wife have lots of pictures, and memories from all those walks to the rock, which usually marked the turnaround point on a beach stroll.There is something else they want to see: a chunk of sandstone cliff, eroding in a way that gives hope that another teacup rock may someday form although probably not in their lifetime.
