Chelton Beach
Just 5 minutes away!
Chelton Beach is near the community of Bedeque along the red shore of southwest PEI. It's located within Chelton Beach Provincial Park where you'll find parking, a playground,small canteen, picnic tables, washroom facilities and a lifeguard on duty through the summer. Like other south shore beaches – the sand here is bright red and has more pebbles than the fine sand you would fine on the north shore. Dunes surround the beach and the warm water is full of sea life. Low tide provides the best opportunity for exploring the flats and tidal pools, catch for crabs underfoot! The sand here is often damp from the last high tide so a beach chair is recommended. Chelton Beach fans love it for the warm water, views of Confederation Bridge and low-key vibe.
Confederation Bridge
We are less than a 5 minute drive from the Bridge! You can walk to the shore for pictures.
The Confederation Bridge is a world engineering feat. It connects Prince Edward Island to the mainland over the Northumberland Strait in the southern part of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. At 12.9 kilometers or 8 miles long, it is the longest bridge in the world over ice-covered waters. It takes approximately 10 minutes to cross. At the highest point, the bridge reaches 60 meters above sea level, which allows large sea vessels, including cruise ships, to navigate under the bridge between its piers.
Confederation Trail
Literally right on our door step!
A unique walking and cycling experience extending tip-to-tip across Prince Edward Island on the bed of the railway. It is 274km from Tignish in western PEI to the east end in Elmira. The Trail passes through woodlands, farms, over bridges and along rivers offering unlimited opportunities for nature lovers. Frequent villages and towns offer services to trail explorers, and shelters are placed every 5km.
