North Shore spills across dune-backed beaches, quiet bays, and working wharves, offering a coastal lifestyle with year-round appeal. The Stanhope and Covehead areas border Prince Edward Island National Park, where the Gulf Shore Parkway strings together bikeable shoreline, supervised beaches, and wildlife-rich wetlands. Dalvay-by-the-Sea and the iconic Covehead Harbour Lighthouse set the scene, while boat launches and kayak outfitters make getting on the water easy. Golfers gravitate to Stanhope Golf & Country Club for oceanside fairways and golden-hour rounds.
Daily living feels relaxed yet connected: it’s about 20 minutes to amenities, arts, and employment in Charlottetown, with additional shopping and services in Stratford, Cornwall, and throughout Queens County. Wharfside eateries like Richard’s Fresh Seafood, community halls, and seasonal events weave neighbors together. The area is served by the provincial Public Schools Branch, with English and French Immersion options and school bus routes linking nearby elementary, intermediate, and high schools; post-secondary choices include the University of Prince Edward Island and Holland College. Housing ranges from classic shorefront cottages and modern builds with panoramic Gulf views to wooded lots on quiet lanes.
Whether you’re prioritizing beach days, tee times, or an easy commute, North Shore delivers a rare mix of natural beauty and convenience. When it’s time to make a move, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate professional, whether you’re buying or selling.
