Annandale, an unincorporated area, is located at the tip of a coastal peninsula in peaceful Eastern Prince Edward Island, Kings County. Name given about 1868 in deference to James Johnston, who was born in Annandale, Dumfriesshire, Scotland in 1837. He began business here in 1855 when it was known as Grand River Wharf. It's a quaint fishing community. Annandale became part of the Community of Annandale-Little Pond-Howe Bay in 1975. Annandale Wharf is located at the mouth of the Boughton River, and there is a picturesque sandspit near the wharf that borders the entrance to the Annandale Wharf from the ocean. This wharf is located on the east coast of PEI not far from the town of Montague.
Annandale Wharf in Summer
Picturesque fishing wharf with short red sand beach that allows for clam digging at low tide, sea kayaking, and leisurely beach strolls. During the lobster season in May and June more than 25 fishing boats berth at the wharf. There are a number of interpretive panels near the wharf describing its early settlement.
