Cavendish Beach, Prince Edward Island National Park

Stunning beach! Large parking, facilities (bathroom, changing rooms, showers, outdoors showers and small cafe). Fee but well worth it. Boardwalk that also leads you to beach, accessible to wheelchair. Lifeguards. It gets a bit crowded, but you can easily walk away to have a more peaceful space. Bring your shade tent and picnic and you will have a great time! Beautiful scenery. be sure to visit even if for just a stroll on beach.

Beautiful sand beach lined with large sand dunes with with distinct red sandstone cliffs. Well maintained boardwalks with natural pond areas and wildflower meadows, we were visiting as Hurricane Lee arrived so the were lots of dramatic crashing waves and strong winds… still beautiful though. The shower / washrooms were well maintained and incredibly clean. The only downside was that a few areas were tapped off due to walkways being broken and broken information signs.

Had a really enjoyable time here. Nice facilities that were clean when we were there. I think a 4.5 is a better rating as the beach is quite rocky and hard to enjoy for swimming. That said the sandcastle making was lots of fun. Overall beautiful views, just keep in mind the trees in the area show evidence of the hurricanes that have come through. Also, check out the Sunset and Stars hike put on by Canada Parks.
