Prince Edward Island (commonly referred to as PEI) may be Canada’s smallest province but packs a punch when it comes to things to do and see. One of the best ways to start your PEI trip is by visiting the house that inspired the Anne of Green Gables saga. Then, do as Anne Shirley would do and enjoy the great outdoors at Prince Edward Island National Park. If you still can’t get enough of the scenic vistas of the island, journey through its length and breadth on two wheels by joining a cycling tour of the Confederation Trail. PEI is the only island province in Canada, so it seems appropriate to choose a beachfront property as your accommodation while visiting. Here’s our round-up of the best beachfront cottages in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and location with easy access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 09, 2024.

1. Hampton on The Water, Miscouche (from USD 220)
