Recreational Marina
Recreational boaters and commercial fishers alike find their port at The West Point Marina. Here, mariners will also find essential dockside services while spectators can take in spectacular sunsets over the water and watch the fishing boats as they head out or return from a day at sea. Operated by the West Point Harbour Authority, 200 feet of floating docks is reserved for visitors.

Cedar Dunes Provincial Park and Campground
Cedar Dunes Provincial Park and Campground is where you'll find natural Island scenery, walking trails, recreational areas, woodland, and 100 acres of designated camping/RV space. Here, our dunes are populated by Eastern White Cedars - an extremely rare natural occurrence and a defining characteristic of the park.

Our fully serviced waterside camping area provides outdoor necessities including firewood, drinking water, and a Laundromat, as well as a brilliant backdrop for your camping excursion. Reservations accepted after April 1.

West Point Beach
Being a coastal community, West Point is home to one of the Island's famous stretches of sand, sea and dunes. West Point Beach is an essential stop in the area, and it's a prime spot for relaxing, getting active with water sports, or exploring the shoreline. The natural beauty of the beach is complimented by a supervised area, a kilometer-long boardwalk and interpretive signage that add insight to your beach day.

Day Trips From West Point
West Point is located along PEI's scenic North Cape Coastal Drive. While staying in West Point, there are a number of daytrips located throughout the Drive that are considered essential experiences for any Island vacation.

The West Cape Wind Farm
In response to the global need to develop more eco-friendly power sources, The West Cape Wind Farm opened in 2007 with 11 turbines. In 2009, another 44 turbines were added, increasing the farm's output capacity to 99 MW, or enough energy to power approximately 25,000 homes. The farm is a unique photo opportunity with its collection of massive turbines turning against the wind, generating clean, renewable energy.

Provincial Parks & Beaches
Other than Cedar Dunes, there are several Provincial Parks located along the North Cape Coastal Drive, each with its own character. Mill River is one of the best-known Provincial Parks in the area. Adjacent to a resort, it also provides recreation and interpretive programs, canoeing and kayaking from its marina, and an 18-hole championship golf course.

A river beach, shipbuilding display centre, museum and nature trails highlight Green Park Provincial Park, while Jacques Cartier Provincial Park offers a supervised beach, and a bay beach is found at Linkletter Provincial Park. Day use parks include Union Corner Provincial Park, Bloomfield Provincial Park, and Belmont Provincial Park.

Confederation Trail & Scenic Lookouts
One of the most scenic ways to explore the area is to walk or cycle the Confederation Trail, extending from Summerside up to North Cape. Scenic Lookouts also dot the Drive at West Cape, Urbaineville, Seacow Pond and Grand River; they're a safe and inviting way to pull over and take in the view.

Summerside
The North Cape Coastal Drive is home to Summerside, PEI's second largest city. This historical area is populated with architecturally graceful homes and commercial buildings adorned with murals illustrating the history of the area. Summerside's waterfront features a variety of activities and dining options along its boardwalk, while live performances are onstage at the nearby Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre, and exhibitions of all sorts are on display at The Eptek Art and Cultural Centre.

The Wyatt Heritage Properties and the International Fox Museum & Hall of Fame offer glimpses of the city's past, while The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts of Canada showcases Scottish and Irish pipes, drums and dancing.

More to See & Do
Located on the northwestern tip of the Island, North Cape is where the Wind Energy Institute of Canada and its interpretative centre are located. A trip along North Cape's Black Marsh Nature Trail will take you under one of the Institute's wind turbines and by the North Cape Lighthouse. Other lighthouses on the North Cape Coastal Drive are found at Summerside, Cape Egmont, West Point, Cape Egmont and Alberton, among others.

Just below North Cape is Skinners Pond. This community is best known as the boyhood home of folk singer Stompin' Tom Connors.

PEI is world-famous for our potatoes. Their production is a major industry on the Island, and it has played a significant role in the development of the province. This history is explored at The Prince Edward Island Potato Museum Complex in O'Leary, featuring an interpretative centre, museum and heritage buildings.

These are just some of the activities, sites and experiences you'll find along the North Cape Coastal Drive.
