Prince Edward Island
Over 680 miles of picturesque beaches surround Prince Edward
Island, Canada's smallest province and one of the Maritime region's
crowning jewels. This quaint destination charms visitors with its
pristine landscapes and keeps them returning for more with its
bountiful seafood and enchanting culture. Prince Edward Island
vacations offer visitors a window into the soul of the province and
a chance to explore destinations that merge history and natural
beauty perfectly. One such of these places is Charlottetown on the
south shore of PEI. The province's capital city is a hotspot for
many vacation packages. It offers attractions like the
Confederation Centre of the Arts, St. Dunstan's Basilica Cathedral,
and, of course, the Province House National Historic Site, where
the Confederation was founded. Charlottetown tours also present
beautifully preserved Victorian architecture and lovely provincial
parks. Best of all, visitors enjoy easy access to all the stunning
scenes encompassing the rest of the island.
From Prince Edward Island National Park - with its seven
red-hued beaches and 30-plus miles of hiking trails - to the
numerous lighthouses and coastal drives, things to do in Prince
Edward Island are plentiful. Coastal wineries are a treat for all
the senses, with their delicious varietals and stunning scenery.
Gorgeous golf courses are tucked throughout the landscape, many of
which are touted as some of Canada's best. The province's prolific
beauty comes to a head at Green Gables Heritage Place, set within
Prince Edward Island National Park. This historic home and its lush
surroundings are so magnificent that they inspired the story "Anne
of Green Gables." No Prince Edward Island visit is complete without
walking the boardwalks through forested lands, dunes, and along the
coastline. Embark on a PEI vacation independently, following a
thoughtful itinerary that highlights points of interest, or join an
escorted tour to see the beauty of the island alongside a guide and
a small group of fellow travelers. It matters little how you
experience Prince Edward Island, just that you do. There are few
places in the world that so easily capture the heart.
