When Gwen was growing up on P.E.I. her very favourite place was Stanley Bridge, a charming seaside village overlooking the beautiful New London Bay. The sunsets are truly spectacular and Gwen & Jim enjoy them from the living room, deck and sitting on their beach.
From the cottage you can easily walk along the beach to the marina where there is a store selling fresh fish, a company offering deep sea fishing and tours of the bay and a casual restaurant. From here it is only a short walk across the bridge to two more restaurants, a museum, and a shop with crafts, clothing, art and gifts.
In a different direction you can walk to a hall that features live music most nights, a gas station and a golf course.
A third walk takes you to the best swimming spot on the island, a restaurant/inn where you can rent kayaks and stand up paddle boards, a little farther is Raspberry Point Oysters where you can buy fresh oysters to take home and enjoy on the deck as the sun sets.

What we like best about being at our cottage in Stanley Bridge is that it is at the end of a quiet lane with a big yard and a private beach. Inside are lots of books and music to enjoy on one of the decks or inside with air conditioning and a comfortable chair A wonderful spot to begin and end a day.
The next best part of being at our cottage is the location. Cavendish Beach and the Anne of Green Gables Heritage Place are only minutes away. Good restaurants, golf courses, live theatres, live music, arts & crafts, shops, wineries, brew pubs are less than half an hour away. Historic Charlottetown is a scenic 40 minutes drive.
