Why hike in Points East Coastal Drive?

The Points East Coastal Drive covers the eastern part of Prince Edward Island, between farm fields, bays and fishing villages.

Greenwich

The Greenwich section of Prince Edward Island National Park is separate from the rest of the park, near St. Peters Bay. People come for the beach and its parabolic dunes, which a trail explores by crossing a pond on a boardwalk.

Before you go

A fee applies to enter the park in season. Dune sand is fragile: stay on the trail and the boardwalk. On the beach, expect wind and biting insects depending on the season.
