You'll see the stars in the night sky like you've never seen them before. At night you can enjoy the quiet of the country and watch the moon rise. Moonlight Cottage By-the-Sea was so named because on the night of a full moon, from your bed or the deck, watch the moonlight shimmer and glisten on ocean waters.
For more activity, hike the coastal road or when the tide is low, miles of beach. You can cycle as this is one of the prettiest coastal roads to cycle on P.E.I. Confederation Trail with an extensive trail system groomed for cycling and hiking starts in Montague, just 10km away.
