Skirting the north shore of Prince Edward Island along the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this national park was a popular vacation spot in the late 19th century and was designated a national park in 1937.

The park protects a spectacular system of sand dunes, beaches, red sandstone cliffs, salt marshes, freshwater ponds and two cultural landmarks: Green Gables and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site.

Green Gables is the farm that inspired many of Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels, including Anne of Green Gables. It also captures the lifestyle of many island families during the late 19th century.

Dalvay House was a large Victorian summer home and is now a privately-run inn and restaurant.

There are many trails, ranging from a seven-mile cross-country ski trail to wheelchair-accessible trails under one mile.

A wide range of interpretive activities are held daily throughout the park and at Green Gables throughout the summer. These entertaining, educational activities are offered in both English and French, and are fun for the entire family.
