Shaws Beach, Prince Edward Island National Park

Tucked along the Gulf Shore Parkway East between Brackley and Dalvay, Shaws Beach is one of Prince Edward Island National Park's smaller, lower-key stretches of shoreline. Where the big beach complexes draw the crowds, this is a place for a quiet dune-backed walk, pale sand and open water views across Brackley Bay, with far fewer people around. It suits travellers who want the national park's classic white-sand-and-dune scenery without the full-day beach-busy atmosphere: bring a little to do, expect to walk along the shore, and time your visit for an empty morning or the warm light before sunset.
