I love this beach. Its probably one of the best ones I visted in pei. I am definatley coming back! The life guard were always watching and you would be notified when they were leaving. They have a suprivised area and that's were my niece and nephews usaully stay in that area. This is a must.

Beautiful north shore beach! Appears to be pretty undeveloped, hope it stays that way! We were just driving by and decided to get out of the car, and ended up spending the afternoon. The water was great! Easy access for swimming, and soft sandy beach! What more could you ask for?!

It is accessible; it shows the effects of climate change on this Island - as a talking point and a learning demonstration. No service on the beach (it is only a few hundred metres from the village of North Rustico.

Walk the boardwalk by the sea. Let your picnic be fresh lobster. Take in the seascapes. Visit Fisherman's Wharf and pick out a souvenir or feast on their lobster meal instead of the picnic.

This little jewel is well worth stopping for a while. The resturants are good (especially Amanda's), and the sea scapes fantastic. You can drive right down to the sand by the light house and sample with sea and air. Both a fresh and salty.

Miles and miles and miles of unspoilt beach and sand dunes. Even of a busy day there is space enough for anyone who wants to be alone to do just that.

Easy access for people in the Rustico area. It is kept clean and it is easy to go to gift shop and restaurants right in the Harbour.

I like it because it is close to home. Quite a long walk from the parking lot but lovely sands and sea to relax after visiting the harbor
