Our Island

Visitors to Prince Edward Island are often taken back by the natural beauty of Canada's smallest Island province. From the stark red cliffs and white sand dunes, to the gentle rolling country side spotted with well kept houses and farms and picturesque fishing villages, to historical city blocks that have their roots in the formation of Canadian confederation, Prince Edward is a unique and special place.

It is a place that has been receiving accolades for centuries, from famous explorer Jacques Cartier's description in 1534 "the fairest land tis possible to see" to our current distinctions as being voted one of North America's top Island vacation destinations, and Canada's top golf destination.

Our Island's roots provide rich cultural influences to entertain visitors at festivals and events across the province. Irish Celidth in local town halls, Acadian museums, local food festivals, and main stage musicals and theatre at the Confederation Centre of the Arts are but a few of the opportunities for visitors to become immersed in the rich culture and heritage of the Island.

It is also our people, both real and fictional, that make a visit to Prince Edward Island unique and memorable. From the famous red head, Anne of Green Gables, to Islanders warm hospitality and down to earth nature, our Island is a place that you can relax and feel genuinely welcomed.

Cavendish, located on the North Shore in the heart of the Island, the National Park, Anne of Green Gables folklore, dining and world famous lobster suppers, high caliber golf courses, walking and biking trails, crafts, and attractions, is the perfect place to base your special Prince Edward Island vacation.
