If you’re anything like Anne, you’re probably very curious. And if you’re curious about Anne, you’ve come to the right place.

Three sides of Fairways Cottages is surrounded by the author’s, LM Montgomery Cavendish Home and National Historic Site. Across the road is the Haunted Woods Trail entrance to the National Park, Anne of Green Gables House, Museum and spectacular walking trails. Much of these beautiful areas are protected and are presented as in the 1908 setting of Anne of Green Gables, the novel. If your interest is in our rich Acadian, Celtic or Native Island cultural experiences, Cavendish Beach Prince Edward Island is located in the island’s centre so you are minutes from these areas. We will provide you links and directions to enrich your P.E.I. cultural experiences.

Most who think of Prince Edward Island have as top of mind, our beaches.

Finding the right words to describe our beaches is a difficult task. They are so varied and breathtaking. The entire Cavendish Beach Resort destination & north shore area borders the entrance into the National Park white sand dune beach system. There are over 40 kilometers of beaches to explore in this area. One of our favourite pastimes is to take the wooded boardwalk from the entrance to Fairways which then takes you directly to the Cavendish Dune Land Trail.

We then sit and watch the sunset or walk along the warm waters edge to take in the late evening warm sun. We encourage our guests to take a short drive to our south shore and discover the red soil beaches.

Prince Edward Island may be just the place to fulfill your childhood dreams.

Sandy beaches, warm ocean water, lively fun parks and an overall casual atmosphere make up your Island playground. Within just a couple of minutes from Fairways Cottages are more than twenty family attractions and of course our greatest playground – Cavendish Beach. Whether a child or a child at heart, these family attractions offer just the right magical mix of nostalgia and fun, with an ease of access and minimum hassle.

An Island family vacation is designed to be as wholesome and uncomplicated as an ice-cream cone on a summer afternoon.

Whether the Festival of Small Halls, the Cavendish Beach Country Music Festival, the Indian River Classical Music Festival, the Charlottetown Festival or one of the many weekly ceilidhs offered, PEI is alive with all the music genres to suit your individual needs.

It is in the spring, things really start to heat up on the Island; the Ceilidh at the Irish Hall begins in May, and the College of Piping in Summerside hosts the annual Highland Gathering. Then, it is pretty well non-stop party time until October.
