Parks & Nature

This is our FAVORITE beach on the island. Great for kids!
Just as beautiful as Cavendish but closer to Charlottetown and less busy. Also, no rocks on the shoreline makes it much nicer for the kids to wade in.

Great fun for kids! Enjoy hours of fun by jumping off the bridge and floating out to the sea. This beach is also beautiful for lounging. We recommend bringing life jackets for the kids!
