Hello Paula,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
There are no shortages of scenic and breathtaking beaches across Prince Edward Island that you can enjoy. You can find an article on our tourism website 'Here' which suggests different beaches, based on what kind of beach day you are wanting to partake in during your vacation.   
 
Victoria Cottages are located in the heart of Victoria-by-the-Sea, which is along the Red Sands Shore (Central). Victoria-by-the-Sea is a small community with easy access to beaches, dining, theatre, artisan shops and activities on the water. 
 
Blackbush Beach Resort located in Tracadie also has cottages that are close proximity to a quiet beach, with ice cream and a restaurant on-site. 

 
A few other cottages that are centrally located with water within 200 meters include: Beach & Breeze Cottages, Rustico Bay Sunset Cottage, John B's Oceanfront Cottages, A Distant Shore Beachfront Cottages, Jewells Cottages and The Beach House at Red Sands Shore. These cottages would not have restaurants within walking, but it wouldn't be too long of a drive. 
 
I would kindly suggest reaching out to the accommodations directly for further information on all amenities included, as well as pricing and availability for your desired dates.
 
Hope this is of some help
Jennifer Ballem
