Malpeque Bay is where wide tidal flats, rolling dunes, and working wharves set an easy coastal rhythm—famous for oysters hauled from cool, sheltered waters and sunsets that seem to linger over the Gulf. Kayakers and kiteboarders skim the shallows, birders scan for herons and shorebirds, and families spread out along the sandy sweep of Cabot Beach Provincial Park, a provincial gem with warm, shallow swimming and photogenic dunes.
Cultural outings come easy, too. The soaring acoustics of St. Mary’s Church host the renowned Indian River Festival, while day trips east bring you to the beaches and trails of Prince Edward Island National Park and the storybook setting of Green Gables Heritage Place. Local tables celebrate what the bay provides—oysters, mussels, and line-caught fish—paired with farm-stand produce from inland fields.
Education and everyday essentials are close at hand. Families are served by nearby schools in Kensington, with post-secondary options at Holland College’s programs in the area and the University of Prince Edward Island within commuting distance via Charlottetown. Health care, big-box shopping, and additional recreation await a short drive away in Summerside.
