The Best Beaches on PEI's North Shore
Red cliffs, warm singing sands, and gentle dunes — our roundup of the north shore beaches worth the drive.
Prince Edward Island's north shore is famous for some of the warmest ocean water north of the Carolinas. From the wide sands of Cavendish to the unique 'singing sands' of Basin Head, each beach has its own personality. We cover where to find calm water for families, the best spots for a sunset walk, and tips on parking and facilities for a stress-free beach day.
