Ross Lane Beach - PEI National Park
Location: Green Gables Shore
Supervised Beach: No
Civic Address: 1144 Gulf Shore Parkway East, York
PEI National Park admission required: June 4 – September 1, 2025
Visitors should note that dogs and other pets are not permitted on national park beaches from April 1 to October 15 annually. Please plan ahead!
Located within the central Brackley-Dalvay region of PEI National Park, Ross Lane Beach is a bit of a hidden gem. Smaller than the better known Brackley Beach located to the west, Ross Lane is home to the same great views and sandy beach. This location is perfect for a great beach day with half the crowd. Composting toilets are located just off the parking lot.

National Park Beach Safety
Surfguards are on duty at PEI National Park locations between July and Labour Day. They aim to post surf conditions each day by 11 am.
