As you enter Cavendish, you’ll feel Anne of Green Gables presence everywhere. Take in Green Gables Heritage Site, check out Montgomery’s Cavendish home, or go to the Green Gables Post Office. Hungry, try Chez Yvonne’s restaurant. This family restaurant has been serving Islanders and visitors alike for over 50 years. Their turkey dinner comes right from their own turkey farm.
You can also walk through the Cavendish Beach section of the PEI National Park and even walk along the beach to the fishing village of North Rustico, where you should include a meal stop at the Blue Mussel Cafe. Rustico is one of the oldest communities established in “La Nouvelle Acadie” following the Treaty of Paris in 1763 and is the oldest Acadian settlement in Prince Edward Island.
