Activity itinerary

Red sands, rolling dunes, and endless ocean views Exploring the North Shore of Prince Edward Island National Park — where red cliffs meet soft beaches and every turn feels like a postcard. ✨ Peaceful, wild, and unforgettable.

Dalvay

Dalvay-by-the-Sea is a stunning historic hotel and resort located on the coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada, originally built in 1895 and now recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada. With its beautiful Queen Anne Revival Victorian architecture, the property features 25 hotel rooms and 8 private cottages, and is ranked as Canada's #1 most romantic inn. Dalvay appeared in the famous films "Anne of Green Gables" and "Road to Avonlea," and even Prince William and Kate visited during their 2011 honeymoon. With 127 years of history, this resort attracts travelers every year from May to October with excellent food, coastal activities, and the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island National Park.

Covehead Harbour Lighthouse

Covehead Harbour Lighthouse is a charming, historic wooden lighthouse located in Prince Edward Island National Park, Canada. Built in 1878, this square tapered tower stands 8.2 meters (26.9 feet) tall and is one of the smallest lighthouses on the island. Its iconic red-and-white design has become a beloved landmark, drawing photographers and visitors from around the world. The lighthouse once guided ships safely into Covehead Harbour and remains a cherished symbol of PEI’s maritime heritage. Today, it sits peacefully on the shore, offering stunning views of the bay and serving as a picturesque reminder of the region’s rich fishing and shipping history

Brackley Beach

Brackley Beach Soft white sand, red cliffs, and endless Atlantic views — a quiet stretch of PEI’s North Shore that feels like pure escape.

The Dunes Studio Gallery & Cafe

Dunes Gallery A coastal art gallery on PEI’s North Shore, showcasing local creativity inspired by the island’s beaches, dunes, and sea.

The Great Canadian Soap Co.

Visit The Great Canadian Goat Soap and discover locally made goat milk soaps and natural skincare products. A unique stop to experience local craftsmanship and find a special PEI souvenir.

Oyster Bed

We'll pause at Oyster Bed Bridge, a tiny community named for the oyster beds lying on both sides of the bridge over the Wheatley River — look down and you can often see the beds and aquaculture gear in the water. This is the perfect classroom for PEI's shellfish story: the island grows about 80% of Canada's mussels, farmed on ropes suspended from longlines — no feed, no additives, just clean water — ready to harvest in about 18 months. Oysters are the older tale: wild Malpeque oysters, tonged by hand from the seabed and aged 5 to 7 years, were declared the world's tastiest at a Paris exhibition in 1900. Today most are farmed in floating bags and cages. I'll show you how to read the water like a farmer.

Farmers' Bank of Rustico Museum & Doucet House

Farmers’ Bank Museum & the Island’s Oldest House ️ Historic gems in North Rustico — a glimpse into early PEI life, banking, and one of the island’s oldest preserved homes by the sea.

Around the Sea Rotating House, Suites, & Tours (Pass by)

Driving through North Rustico, you'll spot one of PEI's most talked-about landmarks: Around the Sea, the world's first rotating house. This 5,000 sq ft round home sits on a giant steel platform and slowly rotates 360 degrees throughout the day, so each of its four guest suites takes turns facing the ocean. I'll point it out as we pass and share how it came to be — an idea sparked in Australia, engineered to turn for about 15 cents per rotation, and featured by the CBC, CTV and the National Post. A true only-on-PEI curiosity, best admired from the road.

North Rustico Beach

North Rustico A classic PEI fishing village — colorful boats, fresh lobster, and a working harbour surrounded by red cliffs and coastal charm.

Cavendish Cliffs

Cavendish Cliffs Striking red sandstone cliffs rising above the Gulf, shaped by wind and waves — one of PEI’s most iconic coastal views.

Green Gables

30m
Admission ticket not included

Green Gables House The beloved home that inspired Anne of Green Gables — a peaceful farmhouse surrounded by trails, gardens, and PEI’s classic countryside charm.

New Glasgow

We'll stop in New Glasgow at the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company, famous across the island for its small-batch preserves. You'll taste their local jams — from classic strawberry to island originals like haskap jam and green tomato jelly — and browse the gift shop for delicious souvenirs: preserves, homemade fudge, loose teas and local crafts. A perfect 15-minute stop to stock up on edible gifts and taste PEI in a jar.

Charlottetown (Pass by)

Charlottetown Historical District ️ The birthplace of Confederation — a walk through elegant old streets, heritage buildings, and the history that shaped Canada.
