Fox River Cottages are located in Murray Harbour, Prince Edward
Island, on a secluded shorefront vacation retreat tucked away on a
thirty acre property at the mouth of Fox River and over looking the
Murray Bay and Murray Islands. Far removed from the stresses of
everyday life the cottages front on 1000 ft of sandy beach and offer
a panoramic water view of the bay area. This property is an
excellent hideaway for honeymooners and those seeking a place to get
away from it all and yet still be close to all the necessary
amenities.
The beach is excellent for swimming, clam digging (buckets and
shovels provided), beach combing or you may stroll at your leisure
one mile of shoreline while watching the many fishing and pleasure
boats on their way in and out of Northumberland Strait.
The river and bay area are ideally suited for canoeing and
kayaking. For our guests pleasure we offer complimentary canoes and
lifejackets so you can enjoy a venture up the sheltered river, or
enjoyed by many of our guests is a fifteen minute paddle across the
bay to the Murray Islands. These are a network of five small islands
which are fun to explore. There you will find species of local
seabirds and frolicking seals sunning on the sandbars. Be sure to
take your camera and binoculars as sightings of bald eagles are
common. Bird watchers will surely delight in spotting many of the
315 species found on Prince Edward Island.
For biking enthusiasts the quiet country roads in the
surrounding area and the Confederation Trail ,which begins just 1 km
from the cottages, offer enjoyable cycling..
Golfers will find several excellent 9 hole golf courses and several
championship 18 hole golf courses within a short drive.
    "You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores,
fields or along the winding red roads of Abegweit on a summer
twilight when the dew is falling, the stars are peeping out and the
sea keeps its nightly tryst with the little land it loves." -
