Overview
Prince Edward Island National Park Tours
Prince Edward Island National Park stretches along the island’s north shore, protecting beaches, dunes, wetlands, red‑sandstone cliffs, and coastal forests. It includes beloved areas such as Cavendish, Brackley, Dalvay, and the dramatic Greenwich Dunes. The park is known for its gentle landscapes, warm Gulf waters, migratory birdlife, and some of the most photogenic coastal views in Atlantic Canada.
Light moves beautifully across the park: mornings brighten the dunes in cool silver, afternoons warm the red cliffs and beaches, and evenings settle into soft gold across the Gulf. This is a destination where coastal calm, natural color, and gentle Maritime movement come together effortlessly.
