The easternmost section of PEI National Park, Greenwich has a long and colorful past with fascinating stories to tell from both cultural and natural perspectives. Ecologically rich, Greenwich is home to a rare parabolic dune system and a dynamic coastal environment of wetlands and forests that provide habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Some of the highest dunes in the province are found here and visitors and locals love the trails, especially the Greenwich Dunes Trail with its floating boardwalk and breathtaking views. On the cultural side, Greenwich has history stretching back more than 10,000 years. Archaeological finds document ties to the Mi’kmaq, the Indigenous people of PEI, as well as connections to early French settlers. These stories and more are told through exhibits at the Greenwich Interpretation Centre. Not to be missed is a very special marine species at risk exhibit featuring life-sized sculptures of aquatic species at risk, such as the leatherback turtle and angler fish.

Pick up a PEI National Park pass at the Centre and explore the trails or pay a visit to beautiful Greenwich Beach. A pristine white sand beach with a delightful boardwalk entrance and surfguard services in July and August, it is a treasure worth seeking out!
