Things to do in Prince Edward Island, Prince Edward Island: The Best Nature & Parks

October 2, 2021 Janean Rudisill

The landscape that inspired Anne of Green Gables entices legions of lovers to Canada’s smallest province. Peaceful P.E.I. is a slow paced haven, full of distinctively Maritime delights. Red sandstone cliffs rise above gentle beaches. Lonely lighthouses dot rocky bluffs. Deserted trails beckon for romantic roaming.

Gardens of Hope

Reviewed By EricNY152 - Sacramento, United States

After a pleasant dinner at Prince Edward Island Preserve Company, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through this beautiful garden. Relaxing, and beautiful, next to the water. Free, but donations are recommended and encouraged to keep up the gardens.

Cavendish Cliffs

Reviewed By Kaymtravel7 - Los Angeles, United States

This is a must do when visiting PEI. We only had time to view the cliffs from above, but they were spectacular. It is a wonderful place to take photos, and I could’ve spent much longer strolling around and enjoying the views. The ocean waves have such a powerful and majestic sound. It’s fascinating to see the red clay everywhere.

Greenwich Interpretation Centre

Reviewed By JimPattiMarshall - Grand Rapids, United States

When we arrived, it was just after Hurricane Dorian had swept away much of the beach and some of the trees of the world famous Greenwich Beach National Park near St. Peter's Bay, Prince Edward Island. This magical place was nearly deserted by this time in mid-September, and the cooler weather kept all but the hardiest souls out of the sea. Sadly, some of the infrastructure of the park was damaged, but the heroic efforts of park employees had already re-opened the main trails and boardwalks that access dunes and most of the beaches. Our weather improved such that one sunny, mild day, we felt it was almost like summer out there. Birds sang in the trees, squirrels "posed" for photos, and the subtle roar of the waves behind the dunes played over the wind in the trees. The folks at the interpretive center were very helpful, and the displays of local history and ancient history helped make our time here come alive. The facility is above expectations for it's convenience and services.

Rochford Square

Reviewed By BlueridgeCharlie - Dugspur, United States

Charlottetown is a beautiful walkable city. While enjoying a walk through the historic neighborhoods came upon Rochford Square. The park was colorful with many, many blooms of all colors. The plantings are scattered about and seats plentiful. Well designed and maintained. Lots of pedestrian traffic enjoying the blooms. No facilities, entry fees or visitor center. Just a fine urban park.

Prince Edward Island National Park

This narrow park stretches 40 kilometers through beautiful coastal landscape and includes the Green Gables House, immortalized in the famous novel "Anne of Green Gables."

Reviewed By CMN14 - Boise, United States

This is a spectacularly beautiful area that you must see if you're in the area. With lovely forests, gorgeous beaches and scenery for miles, it's got something to appeal to everyone. We enjoyed some great hiking, a short walk on the beach and a scenic drive along the coast.

Cavendish Beach

Large beach located in the northern part of the island, popular with walkers, sunbathers and swimmers.

Reviewed By 599sherih - New Smyrna Beach, United States

I loved seeing the cliffs off Cavendish Beach. You can go in through the national park entrance or straight to the beach. We took some of the best pictures all along this coast line and there are spots to stop and explore down onto the shore below. There are also bike trails that run through the national park so you could park and do the beach and the trails from the same spot.

Confederation Trail

Developed along railway lines, this 180-mile hiking and biking trail passes through scenic villages and towns across Prince Edward Island.

Reviewed By kumark194 - Toronto, Canada

Very nice trail, due to short time, we cycled from St.Peters to Morrel and back. The trail goes along the north coast and beautiful views. I plan to go back and cycle the entire trail.
