Cavendish

A guide to Cavendish

Located on the west of Cape Brenton Island, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence is Prince Edward Island. Along the north of Prince Edward Island lies a small community, known as the Cavendish beach section. At its best when seen in the summer, this place is truly beautiful. The white sandy beaches and the crystal clear blue water crafts a sight that words cannot describe. As it comes to full bloom during the month of summer, this is basically a seasonal community. To speak of its scenery is to speak of its beaches.

The Beaches:
Come and visit the sandy beaches of Cavendish, overlapped by the transparent turquoise water. The tepid water is simply an amazing experience to swim in. Marvel yourself in the lukewarm water and enjoy the balmy feeling flowing down your body. Bask in the sun to get your perfect tan. Furthermore, visit the red sandstone rock faces. Tourists spend hours each day looking out at the colourful scenery that are the cliffs and sand dunes.

Golf:
Golf is a very popular sport in Cavendish. Tourists must play the game to get the truly luxurious feel of it. Golfing is done on top-notch championship courses. The kids have separate grounds on which they can play the sport on their own. Try the mini-golf with your children to have some fun.

Water Sports:

Water sports are at large in Cavendish due to the presence of the sea. Try the once in a lifetime opportunity that is deep sea fishing. There's also sea kayaking and parasailing for thrill seekers.

Hire a guide to learn more and about the place and don’t forget to explore the botanical garden. Go to shops, hunt for unique artifacts and antiques created by the local artisans. Bring them back home as gifts to others or as mementos or decorate your home with them to preserve the sweet memory of the tour.
