The Lake of Shining Waters is an alternate name for Cavendish Beach's MacNeill's Pond, a fresh water pond separated from the Gulf by a single line of sand dunes and connected to it by a single stream. This alternate name comes from Anne of Green Gables, after a pond that Anne Shirley saw as Matthew Cuthbert took her to her new home at Green Gables. The pond that actually inspired L.M. Montgomery appears to have been located further west, at Park Corner, but this particular pond is a lovely one.
