St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church, located in the north shore community of South Rustico perhaps a quarter-hour's drive east of Cavendish, is of considerable note architecturally and historically. Not only is it one of the oldest churches in Prince Edward Island, but it has traditionally been a focus for the Island's Acadian community; Rustico is one of the major centres. Located just a minute east are the sandstone building of the Farmer's Bank of Rustico and the vintage wood Doucet House, dating back to 1768.
