Explore the Charm of Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car within Prince Edward Island National Park, start by heading towards the Park's central road, Route 6. From the Green Gables area, drive east on Route 6. Continue past the Cavendish area, following signs towards the Brackley Beach area. After approximately 20 minutes, you'll reach the intersection with Route 15. Turn left onto Route 15. Continue for about 5 kilometers until you reach Dalvay-by-the-Sea, which will be located on your right at 16 Cottage Crescent, York, PE C0A 1P0.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Charlottetown to Brackley Beach during the summer months. Look for the PEI Transit service which operates a route to Brackley Beach. Once you arrive at Brackley Beach, you will need to walk approximately 3 kilometers to reach Dalvay-by-the-Sea. You may need to arrange for a taxi from Brackley Beach to Dalvay-by-the-Sea if walking is not preferable. Be sure to check the bus schedule in advance as it may vary.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer a more active approach, consider biking from locations within the National Park. There are bike paths that connect various parts of the park. Start from the visitor center and follow the bike trails towards the Dalvay area. The distance is roughly 10 kilometers and will take you through beautiful scenery. Make sure to wear a helmet and bring water, as there are no facilities along the route.
