Cabot Beach Provincial Park

Yearning to have a BBQ at the beach or searching for a place the kids can burn off some energy? Head to Cabot Beach Provincial Park, where plenty of on-site amenities make it easy to host a family gathering and keep the kids entertained.

Located about a 25-minute drive west of Cavendish on the North Shore, Cabot Beach is the largest provincial park in Western PEI and a popular destination for visitors and residents. Beach bums will appreciate the easily-accessible beach along with washroom and shower facilities. 

But wait, the fun doesn’t stop at the beach! Cabot Park also offers park recreation and interpretive programs (June 20 – Aug 22), a cycle pump track, laundromat, playground, kitchen shelter, and dumping station. Enough to keep the whole fam-jam busy for hours on end. Notably, pets are also permitted on leash. 

While you’re in the area, be sure to visit the nearby town of Kensington for post-beach ice cream treats. If you enjoy architecturally-stunning churches, you’ll also want to check out St. Mary’s Church in Indian River.
