Prince Edward Island

PEI (Prince Edward Island), Canada is known for its tourism, PEI golf courses, cottages and beautiful Island beaches. Visit PEI and you will definitely want to come back. Prince Edward Island is located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence west and is north of the Nova Scotia. PEI is now connected to the mainland (New Brunswick) via the Confederation Bridge. You can still use the PEI Ferry during the summer months from NS to the east end of the island. PEI's capital is Charlottetown which is great place to visit with lots of activities such as theatre, lobster suppers and shopping. Once you leave Charlottetown, you go in any direction and hit the water and visit the sand dunes and beaches. Take the time to also see the smaller rural town and villages that dot the roads spreading out from the capital
The smaller rural communities as well as the towns and villages throughout the province proudly retain a slower-paced, old-world flavour, something that factors heavily into Prince Edward Island's popularity as a destination for relaxation. The economy of most rural communities on the island is based on farming and fishing.

The coastline consists of a combination of long beaches, sand dunes and beautiful red sandstone cliffs. The beaches, dunes and sandstone cliffs are what PEI is known for. The geological properties of a white silica sand found at Basin Head beach are unique in the province; the sand grains cause a scrubbing noise as they rub against each other when walked on, aptly named the singing sands. No matter where you go or why you vacation on PEI, you will find something that you will enjoy whether it be golfing on one of PEI's golf courses, lying on one of our many beaches such as Cavendish, eating at one of our famous restaurants or charter deep sea fishing.
