Prince Edward Island National Park
Heaving dunes and red sandstone bluffs provide startling backdrops for some of the is-
land's finest stretches of sand; welcome to Prince Edward Island National Park (
902-672-6350; www.pc.gc.ca/pei ; day pass adult/child $7.80/3.90) . This dramatic coast, and
the narrow sections of wetland and forests behind it, is home to diverse plants, animals
and birdlife, including the red fox and endangered piping plover.
The park is open year-round, but most services only operate between late June and the
end of August. Entrance fees are charged between mid-June and mid-September, and ad-
mit you to all park sites, except the House of Green Gables ( Click here ). If you're plan-
ning to stay longer than five days, look into a seasonal pass. The park maintains an in-
formation desk at the Cavendish Visitor Centre ( Click here ) .
The following sights and sleeping and eating options are organized from east to west
covering the park-run facilities and private operations inside and out of the park.
