The Town and its harbor are on the south side of the peninsula, and is bounded on the north by the Cardigan River, and on the south by the Brudenell and Montague Rivers, commonly referred to as the Three Rivers Area as depicted by the red dot in the Map of P.E.I. below |

| The Town overlooks one of the finest natural harbors in Atlantic Canada, due to its deep waters and shelter from the open sea. Beaches around the peninsula are of typical riverfront quality, and are suitable for numerous water-related activities.
