Top Reasons to Go

  • Experience the Anne phenomenon: The orphan nobody wanted has been adopted by the world. She's everywhere on the Island, but Cavendish’s Green Gables farmhouse is ground zero.
  • Get beached: Been there? Dune this. The most jaded, jet-setting beach bum will still be dazzled by the parabolic dunes at Prince Edward Island National Park in Greenwich.
  • Go golfing: A concentration of championship courses—among them the Links at Crowbush Cove, Dundarave, and Brudenell River—make PEI a top choice for golfers.
  • Cycle the Confederation Trail: Even "I haven’t ridden a bike in ages" types can cover the stunning 10-km (6-mile) waterside stretch between Morell and St. Peter’s Bay.
  • Enjoy fresh seafood: Forget the frozen fish sticks of your childhood. The local seafood here—whether served in a classy restaurant or community hall—is sensational.
