Introduction
Prince Edward Island National Park protects beaches, dunes, red sandstone cliffs, coastal wetlands, salt marshes, and cultural landscapes along PEI's north shore. Parks Canada manages park areas including Cavendish, Brackley-Dalvay, and Greenwich.
For a broader overview of the park's history and geography, see the Prince Edward Island National Park Wikipedia page.
Visitors should check Parks Canada alerts, beach conditions, campground information, dune protection rules, and weather before traveling. Wind, surf, rip currents, and coastal erosion can affect beach access.
