If you could only see 6 things in PEI ...
... what would those 6 things be? I'm planning to stay at the Brackley Beach North Winds with my wife in the late spring, & am trying to figure out how many days to reserve, and how many day-trips to take.

Well you must see the Anne of Green Gables "home"...I believe it is illegal to go to PEI and NOT visit.
Personally, I loved a stroll a work colleague and I took on the virtually empty, wind-swept beaches (Brackley, Stanhope...whatever) in spring. It was pouring rain but we were dressed for it and it had its own wild and lovely beauty.
When I was a kid I LOVED Woodleigh Replicas...but I don't even know if they are still around.

I'm surprised that no-one has listed Province House as a must-see. As the site of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference which eventually led to Canadian Confederation, it's certainly worth a visit.
As an aside, I'm always a bit amused on how PEI plays up its role in confederation ("Cradle of Confederation" etc.) even though it declined to join the others in 1867 and held out 6 more years until it could extract more money from Canada. Or perhaps that's the real nature of Canadian confederation!

Thank you everyone for your input. So far I've narrowed the list down to 9 overall items: 1. Brackley Beach North Winds Inn 2. The Lakeview ... Loyalist in Summerside 3. All 3 drives (West, Central & East) 4. Beaches 5. Lighthouses 6. The Musical & 7. Waterfront Patio Restaurants. It all looks like about a week's worth of staying on PEI to me.
