Augustus is a former railway point in Queens, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Augustus is located at 46.3283°N, 62.8909°W.

Augustus lies cradled by rolling farmland, where the earth, a rich, dark loam, slopes gently towards the restless Northumberland Strait. It lies 21.1 km east-north-east of Charlottetown, PE (from Charlottetown, PE: bearing 62°T), and is situated 4.5 km south-south-west of Mount Stewart. Fields of emerald potatoes and golden wheat stretch to the horizon, punctuated by stands of spruce and fir that whisper secrets on the sea breeze. The air here carries the briny tang of salt, mingled with the sweet scent of ripening crops, a constant reminder of the sea's proximity. Dusk often paints the western sky in hues of rose and lavender, a soft luminescence that lingers long after the sun dips below the water, bathing the landscape in a quiet, ethereal glow. The character of Augustus is one of sturdy resilience, a quiet contentment found in the honest labour of the land and the enduring strength of its people. The history of Augustus is intrinsically tied to the bounty of the sea and the fertility of its soil. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile ground and abundant fishing grounds, carved their lives from this island landscape, their legacy evident in the weathered barns and stone walls that dot the countryside. For generations, the economy of Augustus has been sustained by the cultivation of its rich earth, with potatoes and dairy forming the backbone of its agricultural output, while the fishing industry, though perhaps less dominant than in eras past, still provides a vital connection to the ocean's generous, if sometimes capricious, larder. The distinctive red sands of the coastline, a signature of this part of Prince Edward Island, offer a unique geological character, a constant, earthy reminder of the island's ancient origins.
