Beautiful beach and National Park. This is typically a summer and tourist destination and can be quite busy. The beach is great in season, but the overall area has much more to offer. There are walking trails and bike area that can be utilized the majority of the year. Service are only provided in summer months, so be sure to plan ahead. Well worth exploring and spending some time.

Amazing! The views at Cavendish beach are stunning! Perfect place to spend the day relaxing or to take a nice walk. The swimming is also great. Lots of parking and pet friendly. On my list of must see Island spots.

Got to the beach around 4:00 pm. Wasn’t too busy even though it was a hot day in July as lots of people were packing up to head home. There’s no seaweed and the water is nice and clear but watch out for the jellyfish. Four lifeguards on duty and a swim area cordoned off by buoys. The beach is accessible by a wooden boardwalk that has both a stairs and a ramp option. Definitely worth the $8.50 admission price. Next time, I’d like to stroll down the beach more to explore the area. There are washrooms, change rooms and showers as well as a concession stand.

While dipping your toe in the Atlantic at the start of June is an invigorating experience, the beach is an inviting place for children of all ages. The sand is perfect for building the castle of you dreams, or soft enough to rest. The stones are flat thanks to the local geography and skipping stones is challenging (I got 4 skips). While sitting or walking on the beach, you can watch fishing boats catching what will soon be dinner at a local restaurant. A great location.

Had a really enjoyable time here. Nice facilities that were clean when we were there. I think a 4.5 is a better rating as the beach is quite rocky and hard to enjoy for swimming. That said the sandcastle making was lots of fun. Overall beautiful views, just keep in mind the trees in the area show evidence of the hurricanes that have come through. Also, check out the Sunset and Stars hike put on by Canada Parks.

Amazing park - there is a small fee to get in, but definitely worth it if you're here for an entire day. There's a large parking with several buildings in the main area, picnic tables. There's several trails to get to the beach, dunes, oceanview lookout, small lake. On a busy day, definitely want to come earlier to get a great spot.

This was an absolutely beautiful visit! The beach is gorgeous and it's nice to see the sand dunes! Although, the water is absolutely freezing so be prepared! The beach is big with lots of space so if you want privacy you can move further down the beach. You can walk down the trail nearby and visit other parts of the beach further away which is nice to see as well.

This location is amazing! We spent the whole day at Cavendish, walking the dune trails in the morning and relaxing on the beach in the afternoon. There was also a lifeguarded area at Cavendish beach. PEI national park is fantastic family day trip, the group rate is well worth it since you can bring your own snacks and since you can travel to other parts of the park throughout the day if you feel like a change of scenery! Everything is so close together! Just remember; take only photos and leave only footprints... on the trails. Dunes are a fragile ecosystem that are important for nesting birds.

Its a beautiful beach 🏖. You can swim . Sand is soft and easy to walk. Parking area is huge and you can take shower and change your cloths in washrooms. Nice place to take pictures ❤️

Great spot to spend a few hours in the sun. Convenuent snack shop before you head down to the beach. Showers, bathrooms, and changeroom are well maintained. Make sure you also dress appropriately to take advantage of the trails.

If you are in this area you must to see this beach 🏖, amazing place and water! Very clean and great environment.

Beautiful beach with a great boardwalk, showers and change rooms. Kids always love coming here and it never disappoints

Absolutely majestic beach, warm salt water, gorgeous sunsets, calming red light therapy, the sand dunes are huge, and well kept. Lots of parking. Picnic area. Easy to access boardwalk to beach, wheelchair ♿️ accessible. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. It's been a long time since returning to Cavendish and man oh man these sunsets & this place doesn't disappoint. A must to see! 🌅

Pretty spot on the Gulf of St Lawrence. Easy senic drive from Charlottetown. Beach was very accessible and had lifeguards.water wasn't too cold and that surprised me! Great day trip.

Nice boardwalk system up to beaches connecting trails.Washroom facilities available.

Beautiful sand beach lined with large sand dunes with with distinct red sandstone cliffs. Well maintained boardwalks with natural pond areas and wildflower meadows, we were visiting as Hurricane Lee arrived so the were lots of dramatic crashing waves and strong winds… still beautiful though. The shower / washrooms were well maintained and incredibly clean. The only downside was that a few areas were tapped off due to walkways being broken and broken information signs.

Beautiful long beach. Nice walking trails. You can walk quite far out before it gets deep

This is the main beach, it’s even cleaner and has a boardwalk with outside showers and access to beach. I absolutely love this beach 🏖️ There is free parking after 6pm once the office closes. Anything before 6 you have to pay a park entrance fee. There’s a picnic area and also a small food stall with insanely high prices

Staying in nearby Moncton which we made our base for visiting Hopewell rocks, the Magnetic Hill and this beach here on PEI, we arrived on a windy September day, which turned very sunny in the afternoon. We have not realised, that crossing the long bridge between the mainland and PEI will have to be paid upon returning to mainland and is the most expensive fee we paid for crossing a bridge, at 50.25 CAD!!! Reaching this beach involved lots of turns via small country side roads, with the map opened on my phone. Being late September, after Lee storm (which kept us awake in Halifax earlier) the beach had no access fee and there were lots of coaches bringing old tourists for a stroll on the beach. The beach is very long and there is lots of info there on do's and do not. Even the water was warmish and I saved 2 caterpillars blown by the wind to the sand: one decided to further poo on my finger, I guess that is nature gratefulness, right? Beautiful views in all directions and this area is left unspoiled which I like. Would I come back in summer time though? Not really, I prefer to stick to the provincial parks around Toronto for daily escapades and if I really want a holiday in the sun, probably I would chose quieter locations southern USA/Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean. There are lots of great locations to discover further.

For Beach lover cavendish beach 🏖️ is for you enjoy cold Atlantic 🌊 and you can also do Walking and biking along the trail

Great beach. Washrooms are clean. Beach is great and wheelchair accessible

Beautiful beach, trails, road, cliffs. Nice little snack bar. Public rest rooms and parking. Need a pass to enter the park.

Beautiful beach. They are working on making it access to get to. There is a lookout point that is accessible and the ramp down to the beach looked to be under construction. The trail we walked was really nice. There were warnings for poison ivy. And we did see A LOT of poison ivy. There was an entrance fee but they provided us of a map of the park. Dogs not allowed on the beach but they are allowed everywhere else on a leash.

I can’t say enough of this beach. It remind me of Nice in France except better beach. Water is warm and Sandi. The red sands it’s breath taking and the view of the red rock combination with green land and small lakes around it. This beach it is much visit!!

Our family (group of 7 adults) came to the beach on Friday August 12, 2022. It was a beautiful day, and not super busy. At the main “boardwalk” before the stairs & ramp down the the beach, there were accessible change rooms and washrooms, lots of picnic benches to rest or have lunch, and and ice cream shop. We spent a couple of hours here, swam in the ocean which was cold, and enjoyed the silky sands! I’d recommend coming here but hopefully on a day where it’s not super busy! 😊

The beach looks spectacular and very calm, and most people stay there. But don't overlook the beautiful boardwalk and red rock cliff area where we dip in and see many small crabs. On the downside, it is somehow hotter or more humid than other parts of the island.

Good to see, however, we had a rainy day and therefore visibility was not good. This said, the sandy beaches and dunes were very nice. We recommend.

Beautiful beach with outdoor showers to rinse off. There is a small canteen for snacks & ice cream. Boardwalks to the beach and steps down (not for wheelchairs). It was very windy today and the lifeguards did not allow any swimming due to the rip currents, so that was super disappointing

Beautiful beach, a short walk from the parking lot. Soft sand, beautiful foods, and fun to play in the waves. Walking up and down the shoreline is a great way to spend the afternoon.

This was a beach that I had dreamed of going to for years and I finally made it and I can say that it did not disappoint. Even though there were lots of people there is enough room for everyone to get comfy and sprawl out. Water wasn't too bad. Can't wait to go back.
