Looking for recommendations on activities and places to eat in PEI with an 11 year old. We are staying on the North shore and plan on doing some of the Anne of Green Gables things, visiting a beach and national park. Any other ideas would be great!

Burlington Go Carts & Adrenaline Park

You could spend an entire day at Basin Head Provincial Park

Check out Basin Head Provincial Park https://www.tourismpei.com/provincial-park/basin-head near Souris. This is a very popular summer beach in Eastern Kings County, PE. A small bridge spans "the run" where brave swimmers jump off and currents carry you out toward the sand bars of the beach area. Great fun all day. Cafe on site. Very busy in the high season, but loads of fun. The beach makes a strange swishing sound when you walk on it.

Island Hill Farm

When you visit Island Hill Farm, we make sure to educate you on our entire farming operation. We feel it is very important for people to learn about where their food comes from, ethical and sustainable farming practices, and of course our animals themselves!

Greg,

Did you see this post I listed our favorite places on the island.

Halifax and PEI

Tom

When our kids were that age they were happy with lots and lots of beach time and the least amount of time driving in the car possible! We always went to the north shore, but west of/away from the Cavendish / Rustico area.

A few favourites were:
-getting ice cream at Cows in Cavendish (but we love Harmons in Summerside the best now!)
-deep sea fishing with https://m.facebook.com/grahamsdeepseafishing/ or Dale’s out of Malpeque
-Cabot Provinical Park
- sea kayaking- https://peikayak.ca (that isn’t who we went with, they may not be around anymore, but I’ve seen them at the Cabot beach)

Food places (a bit of a seafood centric list):
Malpeque Oyster Barn (make a reservation)
Ship to Shore
Island Stone in Kensington
North Shore Canteen (one for the adults- not sure they have a kids menu, but awesome food!)
PEI Handpies (also sold frozen at the Kensington Food Mart)
Ruebens fish mart in Darnley
JMK Fish Mart in Summerside (for lobster rolls- small place)
