Cavendish / North ShorePlaces to VisitThings to DoBeaches
60 km of protected coastline: beaches, dunes, wetlands, and coastal trails.
PEI National Park protects three separate sections of the north shore — Cavendish, Brackley–Dalvay, and Greenwich — linked by the scenic Gulf Shore Parkway. Expect dune systems, freshwater ponds, red cliffs, and some of the warmest swimming water north of the Carolinas.
Cycle the paved coastal parkway, walk the boardwalk out to the parabolic dunes at Greenwich, or spread out at quieter Brackley Beach. A single day pass covers every section.
