One of the few P.E.I. locales which still recalls the activities of
early Native settlers, Canoe Cove was a major landing location for
Natives who made their way across Northumberland Strait. Close to the
headwaters of both the West and Hillsborough Rivers, the Natives could
almost entirely make their way to the Island`s North Shore in their
canoes from the cove.
A very quiet region of the South Shore, Canoe Cove offers visitors
the opportunity to enjoy the warms waters and pastoral scenery far
removed from the hustle and bustle of other Island destinations.
As well, the Glen Afton Golf Course, located just a few miles from Canoe
Cove, offers beautiful seascape views and a
challenging course. A region which epitomizes the rural charm of P.E.I.,
Canoe Cove remains a haven for those who desire solitude amidst stunning
natural beauty.
