We loved visiting North Cape for a walk with our dog. The gift shop is lovely but the restaurant is now closed.

Beautiful walking trail with a variety of features and side trails. Often stopped to take in the view, the amazing rock formations, the local plant and wildlife. Even came across a group of over 10 seals. Spent 3 hours here and have spent more!
Joe D — Google review
Beautiful place to walk around the north shore, easy trails with info placards spread out. The numerous windmills in the area do not lie - it is very windy but worth it. Can't get up close to the lighthouse, but the tidal pools and rocky beach is worth it on its own. Lots of parking available. Bathrooms inside the centre were clean as well, they close with the gift shop.
Bridget F — Google review
It's very beautiful here if you love the ocean and wildlife. I was so excited to see the seals. The gift shop has washrooms, and lovely items. Wish the restaurant had been open this year.
Amy ( — Google review
The best spot I visited in PEI during our road trip. You can see seals right from the shore with the naked eye — such a cool experience! Just don’t forget to bring binoculars for an even better view.
Hyejeong K — Google review
Breathtakingly beautiful. As a 63 yr old Albertan my dream had always been to travel and explore my own country, coast to coast. At that point the furthest East I had made it to was Montreal. Dipping my toe into the Atlantic was a proud, defining moment for me. I would move to ANYWHERE in the Maritimes in a heartbeat as it is so intoxicatingly alluring. Seriously considering retiring there now. Highly recommend.

A little windy but worth the visit. Beautiful views of North Cape, wildlife and landscape. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open, but the gift shop was and had some unique nicknaks ... we got s trapped in PEI sticker.

I really enjoyed my time at North Cape. The bathrooms were clean. The staff were friendly. Aaaaand I bought a cool bucket hat.
Sierra T — Google review
The place is clean and nice, trails and cool and being able to walk out on the reef was quite nice on low tides, however the exhibit next to the gift shop that they make you pay to visit is definitely to avoid. Quite expensive for just a few outdated signs and an out of order activity (which wasn't indicated before entering) Honestly even if it was free I'd say it was barebones, but the fact that they charge for it and even make it into a marketing reel for the area towards the end is a shame. Still getting 2 stars as the rest was good, but avoid the exhibit.
Matthew A — Google review
This location has a great deal of potential but it appears to be understaffed. There were a great deal of unopened boxes and clutter. There were cleaning and bathroom supplies on tourist information racks. The restaurant is not open due to staff shortages. The staff that were working didn’t appear to be motivated or they need supervision. This is a shame as the location is wonderful and there were quite a few tourists visiting.

Located at the tip of Prince Edward Island overlooking the ocean. Within the complex are a gift shop, restaurant, and wind energy interpretive centre.
Google G — Google review
Beautiful selection of souvenirs, friendly staff, nice building, Lighthouse and scenic lookout.
Janice H — Google review
Since there is no specific google result for the interpretive center I will put the review here. The interpretative center is in the gift shop and from what I can tell has the same hours. It was really interesting but lacks the interactive part. Everything except one thing was broken and out of order. The interactive part is what keeps kids interested and even lots of adults.

Loved the peaceful atmosphere here. The church’s Gothic-style architecture is absolutely beautiful, and the calm inside makes it a lovely place to sit and reflect.

Such an incredible venue to work at! As I'm a natural light wedding photographer this church had so much natural light. I highly suggest this beautiful church.
Michaela B — Google review
Beautiful church. You can't help but feel some kind of way when inside, unlike newer churches that resemble a community center.
Jiri D — Google review
Beautiful church, and what a spire! One of the nicest I've seen on the Island. Well maintained grounds - a great spot to have a picnic during the week!

Best church picnic around. Had a wonderful time and the home cooked meal was superb.

Beautiful well kept church. Great setup and very old. Nice inside. A must see when you're up here on the island.

beautiful church in Tignish. Be sure to go up front and read about and see the face of Our Lady on a tabernacle cloth that once covered the tabernacle.

Excellent little golf course. We'll cared for and a few really challenging holes. Great for getting out and enjoying 9 holes. Has a watering hole but no restaurant facilities. If you are on the west end of the island, stop and play 9.
Gordon G — Google review
Played nine this morning. Course is in wonderfully shape, fairways are clean, very little rough, even though I did manage to l ose two balls. Greens, too, are in great shape. May come back again later in the week. Might find those two silly balls, ha.
