Visiting Prince Edward Island National Park was an absolute gem - especially at the very beginning of October, which means solitude and silence, except for the sounds of the waves and wind.
It is just a short drive from the heart of Charlottetown and is a true coastal paradise that offers something for everyone.
One of the standout features of this park is its stunning sandy beaches. The golden sands stretch endlessly, making it the perfect spot for a day of sun and surf.
Whether you're building sandcastles, taking a leisurely stroll, or simply basking in the sun, you'll find the beaches here to be both serene and picturesque.
The sand dunes are another highlight of Prince Edward Island National Park. They are a natural wonder, rising like gentle giants along the coastline. You can hike through the park, enjoying the breathtaking vistas and the tranquil sound of the waves crashing nearby.
The boardwalks in the park provide an easy way to explore the diverse ecosystems and landscapes. They are well-maintained and offer fantastic views, making them perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more extensive hike.
After a day of walking, lounging, and playing in the sand, you'll be pleased to know that the park provides facilities for washing off the sand. It's a practical touch that ensures you can leave the beach feeling refreshed and clean.
Prince Edward Island National Park is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring PEI. With its sandy beaches, mesmerizing sand dunes, and convenient amenities, it's the perfect place to connect with nature and unwind by the sea.

Read moreGreat hiking trails, wonderful views of the ocean blue. Soil unlike anywhere else I have visited, it is almost neon orange in some places. A beautiful National Park, very remote. The combination of the landscape & the ocean are unequivocally & lavishly splendiferous!! If you ever are in the area (as it is quite off the beaten path - on the northern end of Nova Scotia or far east off of Newfoundland), it is an absolute must see. Anne of Green Gables was filmed here - and, if you're here with that special someone...you can traverse the official "Lovers' Lane." What a majestic place, yes, indeed. A truly unique area & and National Park. P.S. = Gulf Shore Parkway E, along the coast is an absolutely beautiful & stunning drive right along the ocean. This, coupled with an accompanying sunset - & your day will be...
Read moreLovely park. The beach was nice. We swam in the ocean. It was lovely. The facilities are excellent and well maintained. Green Gables were also nice addition to our experience at the park. We stayed the night in a otentik and it was a great experience. Really spacious. BBQ, gas and utensils were provided. There was tap at the site. There was electricity too. The comfort station was the best that I've been to in Canada. The kitchen facility separately located close by. Small and dark compared to the ones at Cape Breton NP. There are sinks to wash your dishes located close to the washrooms. We had to pay separately to use the beach, Green Gables and day use for camping, which usually is covered with one day pass at other National sites. Overall great experience and would recommend spending a night...
