Prince Edward Island
BEAUTIFUL AND PASTORAL, Prince Edward Island is famous for its lush landscapes. Wherever you look, the island’s rich colors, emerald green farmlands, red-clay roads, and sapphire sea, seem to combine and recombine in endless patterns to please the eye.
The island is also a popular destination for golfers who come to tee off on some of Canada’s best courses, as well as a haven for sun worshipers who revel in the sandy beaches that ring the island. Prince Edward Island seems made for exploring at a leisurely pace.
Meandering coastal roads present an ever-changing panorama of sea, sand, and sky. Small historic towns are home to elegant country inns and art galleries. In the evenings, the island’s famous lobster suppers await, caught fresh daily from the Atlantic Ocean.
The vest-pocket capital city, Charlottetown, is packed with architectural heritage and culture. It is here that the Confederation of the Arts hosts the Charlottetown Festival, which features the musical Anne of Green Gables.
As well as being historically significant as the Cradle of Confederation, PEI is home to some of Atlantic Canada’s finest inns/ most ornate churches. And much lauded lobster suppers. And thanks to the Confederation Bridge, this Garden of the Gulf is easily accessible from the mainland.
