Prince-Edward-Island-Nationalpark (Prince Edward Island National Park)
Der Prince-Edward-Island-Nationalpark (englisch Prince Edward Island National Park of Canada, französisch Parc national du Canada de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard) ist ein kanadischer Nationalpark an der Nordküste von Prince Edward Island, entlang des Sankt-Lorenz-Golfs. Der Park erstreckt sich über eine Länge von etwa 60 km und hat eine Fläche von rund 22 km². Die nächstgelegene Stadt ist Charlottetown. Es besteht aus drei Teilgebieten entlang der Küste, nämlich Cavendish, Brackley-Dalvay und Greenwich. Der Park selbst wurde 1937 errichtet, 1998 aber um den zu Greenwich gehörenden Bereich erweitert, der besonders durch Sanddünen geprägt ist. Zum Schutzgebiet gehören daneben ausgedehnte Sandstrände, Sandsteinkliffs, vorgelagerte Inseln, Süßwasserfeuchtgebiete, Salzmarschen und Wälder.
Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark), welcher von Parks Canada, einer Crown Agency (Bundesbehörde), verwaltet wird.

Absolutely amazing place. The beach and trails are awesome. The beach is huge and stretches far. The water is a great temp for dipping feet into. There is an active life gaurd presence. Relaxing as can be. The trail offers some stunning views. The trail isn't difficult and the floating dock portions offer views of the dunes that is just something to see. Bonus is the massive dragon fly population so mosquito's are in check. Plus the dragon flies can be seen in some great colors and if you are calm they are more than happy to land on you! The cost of entry was $15 for myself and my spouse and it is well worth it. Parking additionally is ample. Again highly recommend if you are going to be in the area. It is thus far my favorite spot in all the province.

What a joy to have this beautiful place to enjoy. The park is so well maintained and clean. The hiking and biking trails were wonderful and there were places to just enjoy the views along the trails. The beach is wonderful and the sand dunes are beautiful. The water was 19C and the tide was calm.

Loved the scenery at Greenwich National park. The floating boardwalk was beautiful. See pictures. The beach is awesome and less busy than Brackley beach.

Beautiful National Park - a must see if you’re visiting Prince Edward Island! It was a hot and humid day when we were here a couple of weeks ago but it was worth it. The walking path toward the beach was super easy and included a long floating bridge. Enjoy the spectacular views and endless beaches. Don’t forget to bring your swim trunks during the summer.

Beautiful, beautiful place!! Some of the most gorgeous beaches. Park is well organized and the beach is very clean. Great place to spend the day and a very nice bike trail. Trail is nice and flat if you want an easy biking day. You will need to pay admission, can do a daily fee or a park pass with is good for the year. Not dog friendly during the summer season unfortunately.
