Road to Avonlea Fans and fans of the Anne of Green Gables movies produced by Sullivan Entertainment Inc. in the 1990's  will be most familar with Dalvay featured as the "White Sands Hotel."

The producers of Road to Avonlea first used Dalvay for the Anne of Green Gables movies showing Anne (Megan Follows) going to a recital at the White Sands Hotel.  Anne loses her paper sheets all over the dunes with the hotel in the background.

When the Road to Avonlea series started, the hotel, featured as the White Sands Hotel, allowed the creators to bring in outside guest stars to the Avonlea Village, by offering it as a place they could stay while they visited with the Avonlea characters.  "Avonlea"  is the fictiious island village used in the Lucy Maud Montgomery "Anne"  stories, and in real life, is the resort municipality of Cavendish.

As the series, Road to Avonlea, progessed over the years, the White Sands Hotel became featured more each season, as Hetty King, one of the principal characters, became a part-owner, and Felix King, one of the King children, also considered a career in the hotel business when he worked there as a bellboy.

These photos show some of the shooting of Road to Avonlea, specifically, a croquet match and the Annual Avonlea  Bachelor Auction.
