General presentation
Cavendish et côte nord
Red falsies, dunes and beaches border Anne's country... the green gables house.
Prince Edward Island National Park, Green Gables Heritage Place and Cavendish Beach provide the most telling landmarks on Cavendish and the north coast. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, countryside, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard
Prince Edward Island National Park is home to the brightest images of the north coast: red cliffs, fragile dunes, blond beaches and fields that descend to the sea. The trails and viewpoints quickly change atmosphere, between swimming and Cavendish, birds of marshes and caps carved by the wind.
Place indismissible
Green Gables Heritage Place
Green Gables Heritage Place gives life to the Anne of Green Gables universe in a farm surrounded by gardens, woods and peaceful paths. The green gable house, furnished rooms and inspired paths of Lucy Maud Montgomery speak to readers as well as to travellers sensitive to the rural landscapes of Cavendish.
Nature and panorama
Cavendish Beach
Cavendish Beach combines light sand, red cliffs and Atlantic rollers in one of the most photographed coastal scenery on the island. In summer, the place attracts families and swimmers; sooner or later in the season, the beach regains an almost wild depth under the wind.
Place indismissible
Dalvay-by-the-Sea
Dalvay-by-the-Sea stands out for its large Queen Anne style residence set between lake, dunes and North Coast beach. The place evokes the former resorts, with woodwork, verandas and pine silhouettes, while remaining linked to the imagination of Anne de Green Gables.
