I've heard about the fabulous beaches on PEI. I am wondering where I could find a great beach that is off the beaten path - quiet, secluded and gorgeous.
Hi Deb,
I am a beach person too and one of the great things about living on Prince Edward Island is that you are never far from a beach. With more than 1,100 km of coastline, PEI is home to some of Canada's best beaches. Many are off the beaten path, quiet, secluded and gorgeous!
One of my personal favourites is at Tea Hill Park in Stratford, located on PEI's south shore. At low tide, the beach opens up into miles of smooth red sand, perfect for walking. The calm, shallow water warms quickly in summer, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing. Even during peak season, it's often peaceful enough to feel like you have the entire beach to yourself.
Another favourite is the beach at Panmure Island Provincial Park, known for its white sand. I often spend hours here beachcombing for treasures!
If you're exploring western PEI, be sure to visit Cedar Dunes Provincial Park along the North Cape Coastal Drive. This scenic beach offers wide stretches of sand, dramatic coastal views, and spectacular sunsets.
No matter where your Prince Edward Island adventure takes you, you'll never be far from a beautiful beach.
Enjoy!
Rod
