Visiting Cavendish in the fall is so fun as there are a few things which only happen during this time the year!
The maples are turning red and orange, there is a hint of crispness in the air, and you can start getting cozy around the fire pit and hot tubs in the evening! Also, Cavendish tends to be quieter at this time of year so you don’t have to worry about long restaurant lineups and crowded beaches.
Here is what you can look forward to doing in Cavendish in September and October!

Walk Along the Cavendish Shore
Cavendish Beach is known for its long coastline, sandstone cliffs, and rippling sand dunes. In the summer, the beach is busy with beach-goers. Although it is too chilly for swimming in autumn, it is a lovely place to enjoy a quiet beach walk and listen to the waves crash against the shore.
