Greenwich Parks & Gardens

Separated by water from the rest Prince Edward Island National Park, Greenwich lies just north of the town of Greenwich on its own peninsula, and is home to P.E.I.'s most delicate ecosystem. A system of moving sand dunes and unique flora and fauna, the area is too delicate for human habitation. Visitors to the area can view the dunes from boarded walkways beginning at the visitor information centre.

P.E.I.'s only national park extends 40 km along the island's north shore from Cavendish to Dalvay, and also includes 6 km along the western tip of the Greenwich Peninsula. Found within Prince Edward Island National Park of Canada are sand dunes, barrier islands and sand pits, beaches, sandstone cliffs, wetlands and forests. The park is home to the endangered Piping Plover and Green Gables and Dalvay-by-the-Sea. Admission fees apply; open year-round.
