Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province, is a land of rich, rolling, red farmland, verdant valleys, stunning seascapes and bustling harbors.
Anne of Green Gables
This is Canada’s birthplace with the confederation being signed here in 1867. It was also home to Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of 'Anne of Green Gables'.
Provincial Parks
The island has a cornucopia of natural treasures such as Brudenall, Linkletter and Souris Beach Provincial Parks, the 'singing' sands of Basin Head and countless lighthouses that evoke the region’s maritime heritage.
The recently-constructed Confederation Bridge allows easy access from New Brunswick to some of Canada’s finest beaches, best golf courses, friendliest locals and, of course, the delectable Prince Edward Island lobsters.
