Visit PEI

Welcome to Prince Edward Island... the Gentle Island
 
We invite you to discover the beauty and magic of the real Prince Edward Island. A tiny island jewel on the Eastern Coast of Canada, PEI is a great place for anyone to visit. With its roots in Scottish, Irish, Celtic and Acadian culture, the culture of Prince Edward Island has an irresistible, toe-tapping beat. With endless beaches to choose from, festivals and events of all kinds throughout the year and activities to suit anyone's tastes, this is a place to experience first-hand!

Just imagine. A magical vacation in Anne's world. Now start planning one!

Whether you're interested in a night of theatre, a day at the beach, a feed of lobster or a traditional ceilidh, PEI offers a host of activities for the entire family. Prince Edward Island is packed from tip to tip with exciting activities but distances are short and it’s easy to do as much or as little as you like.

On PEI, awaken your taste buds to a whole new epicurean level. Here, fresh can mean the fish came off the boat an hour ago or the vegetables were plucked from the garden this morning. From fine dining prepared by award-winning chefs to fresh oysters and mussels dockside; from cozy tables at classy country inns to steamed lobster on a cottage deck-an Island food experience is all about fresh and tasty, most often enhanced with a water view. Seafood is as common as the beautiful scenery and there’s no excuse not to indulge.

Great PEI sandy beaches. special places, that tugs at you even when you’re somewhere else: “It’s a beautiful summer day. I should be at the beach!” Sea air, warm sun, and that wonderful rhythm of the tide that gives your mind a chance to catch up with the rest of you. The beach is a place for picnics, walks, volleyball, or better still, just closing your eyes and doing nothing at all. On Prince Edward Island, there are 90 beaches or more, each with its own special feature-best beach for clams, best sand for castles, best warm water pools inside the sandbar. Best of all, a visit to your special beach doesn’t have to take up your whole day, because, wherever you are, there’s a beach just minutes away. Which is why it’s so hard to ignore the tugging of red cliffs, sparkling sand, dark blue water meeting light blue sky. A visit to an Island beach will be your chance to discover-or recapture-the feeling that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. http://www.tourismpei.com/beaches

The Island way of life fosters creativity in its people, and as you explore PEI, you will soon understand why so many artists find inspiration in the gentle Island landscape. Nature forms the foundation of fine creations such as earthy pottery in Breadalbane, the graceful lines of contemporary woodwork in Rustico, or colourful paintings of Island scenes throughout PEI.

PEI is known as the birthplace of Confederation. In 1864, the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec met in Charlottetown to form the new nation. It was a richly eventful time. You can relive the drama by visiting Province House and Founders’ Hall, and by joining any number of tours. But archaeologists have found evidence of early Mi’kmaq settlement that dates thousands of years before the historic Charlottetown Conference. Early European settlers arrived mainly from Scotland, England and Ireland and their influence is obvious in the names found on mailboxes, the lilting accent of the people and the omnipresent Celtic music. The Island’s Acadians have their roots in France and a visit to La Région Évangéline will introduce you to their tumultuous history. This blend of cultures and heritage is represented in a lively and entertaining way in the small halls across the province. Ceilidhs (a Gaelic word for party or a good time), community concerts and Acadian supper theatre are wonderful introductions to PEI cultural traditions.

Running, walking, biking. There are 25 bicycle rental shops on the Island, and with good reason: cycling is a great way to get around. The highest elevation is 142 meters (465 feet) above sea level, with much of the land rising and falling in gentle slopes. Add the Confederation Trail with its 357 kilometres (221 miles) of flat, groomed surface and you have a biker’s and hiker’s dream.

Canoeing, kayaking, fishing.  The Island is surrounded by warm summer water. If you’re not in the ocean, you’ll want to be on it. (Did we mention snorkeling, swimming, seal watching or parasailing?) Camping. When your active, fresh-air day ends and you are ready to slow down, there’s no better way than by spending a night in one of our campgrounds. Breathe in the salt-tinged air and let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep.
