Who would have guessed that Prince Edward Island, Canada's
smallest province, would be voted "Number One" island
in North America by Travel & Leisure Magazine?
Spend many days here, and you'd never run out
of things to do and places to see.
Beaches: Warm
sunshine, gentle breezes and the sounds of the surf will lull
you into dreamy sleep, where your only thoughts go to "which
flavour of "Cow's Ice Cream" will you chose today! Sounds
heavenly? There are many beautiful beaches on P.E.I., and even
after two weeks visiting a new one each day, there would still
be many to explore. We have the warmest waters, north of the Virginias.
Water Sports:
Spend a day Sea Kayaking on Malpeque Bay, or try deep sea fishing
out of North Rustico. Tuna fishing in North Lake, seal watching
at East Point or sailing on Charlottetown Harbour, are all available
to you.
Golf:
Voted as "Number One" golf destination in Canada by
Score
Magazine, P.E.I. is a golf lover's paradise. Imagine teeing off
at one of our twenty four lush & green courses, accommodating
both the beginner through to the Pro.
Cycling:
P.E.I. is a haven for cyclers. Ride the Confederation Trail, which
was once the railroad link on the island. Try trails through Woodlands
or the hills of the roadside, where often the seaside comes to
view and the patchwork quilts of the farms along the way, take
your breath away.
Anne of Green
Gables: When one thinks of P.E.I. , Anne comes to mind.
Spend the day exploring the life of Anne of Green Gables' author,
Lucy Maud Montgomery and the places she wrote of, in her world
famous novels.
Museums:
P.E.I.'s history dates back with the first settlers being the
Mk'Maq's(MicMac's), followed by English and French settlers, (the
Loyalists and Acadians). Many of our museums depict Island life
in the 19th century and on into the era of the windmills that
turn on the North Cape. Also "learn about our potato history"
Entertainment:
Take in a play or musical at the Confederation Centre, King's
Playhouse, Victoria Playhouse or the Harbour Front Jubilee Theatre.
Enjoy the sounds of bagpipes at the College of Piping in Summerside.
A ceildh or a concert at the Indian River Festival will keep your
feet a tappin'!
Dining:
Satisfy your appetite and eat your way across the island,
enjoying the multitude of restaurants and take-aways available
to suit everyone's palate. Lobster, Malpeque Oysters, Clams, Mussels,
homemade baking, fresh local produce, sweet wild berries, Acadian
meat pies and of course P.E.I.'s famous potatoes are all here
to please.
