This is a must do when visiting PEI. We only had time to view the cliffs from above, but they were spectacular. It is a wonderful place to take photos, and I could’ve spent much longer strolling around and enjoying the views. The ocean waves have such a powerful and majestic sound. It’s fascinating to see the red clay everywhere.

I loved seeing the cliffs off Cavendish Beach. You can go in through the national park entrance or straight to the beach. We took some of the best pictures all along this coast line and there are spots to stop and explore down onto the shore below. There are also bike trails that run through the national park so you could park and do the beach and the trails from the same spot.

We had a great time visiting the area that inspired the Anne of Green Gables stories. The tour guide tells you the basic and then you can walk through the house and the grounds. There is a nice modern museum area that tells the history of the author Lucy Maud Montgomery, who was inspired to right her beloved series by this beautiful area.where she spent time as a child. Well worth a visit. In July it was beautiful.

A historic cemetary where Lucy Maud Montgomery was buried in 1942. She was the known author who wrote Anne of the Green Gables.

It was a surreal experience to walk along the pathway that led to L.M. Montgomery's final resting place and to hear the waves from the nearby ocean that was so dear to her. Having read her journals, it was obvious that PEI held her heart, despite her time in Ontario. Definitely a stop along the tour for any true Anne-fan to place respect the woman whose creativity imagined the character we all know and love.
