Things To Do

Prince Edward Island National Park
Prince Edward Island National Park of Canada is home to sand dunes, barrier islands and sandspits, beaches, sandstone cliffs, wetlands and forests. These diverse habitats provide a home for a variety of plants and animals, including the threatened Gulf of Saint Lawrence Aster and the endangered Piping Plover. The National Park also features unique cultural resources, notably Green Gables, part of L. M. Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site, and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site.

Anne Of Green Gables
Green Gables, located in Cavendish in the Prince Edward Island National Park, is a popular tourist destination. Each year hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world visit the site which inspired the setting for L.M. Montgomery to create her beloved tale of a red-haired orphan, Anne of Green Gables. In addition to the Green Gables House, several museums and sites invite visitors to learn more about Anne and Montgomery and a popular musical version of the story runs every summer at the Charlottetown Festival.

Interpretation programs and new personalized tours of the site are offered to visitors during the month of May to October. The tours highlight the heritage of the area and explain the significance of the site; portraying Lucy Maud Montgomery's role as an author of national historical significance. And of course, visitors to the site will be welcome to stroll the Haunted Woods and Balsam Hollow trails as described in the book.

Scenic Drives
Scenic Drives Follow the coast. Because of Prince Edward Island's irregular shape and countless bays and inlets, a trip along our coast delivers new vistas at every turn. Charming communities, each with its own unique flavour, are tucked away, their secret treasures quietly awaiting discovery. Touring our three coastal drives is the perfect way to explore the Island's diverse landscape and history. North Cape Coastal Drive is brimming with Mi'kmaq culture, Acadian music and theatre, and museums devoted to potatoes, silver foxes, and shipbuilding.

You'll find the Wind Energy Interpretive Centre, The College of Piping, and houses made of glass bottles. The Central Coastal Drive includes fun-filled Cavendish, and much more. Enjoy spectacular views along Route 20, classic fishing ports and lobster suppers, shopping at Gateway Village, and a leisurely stroll around quaint Victoria-by-the-Sea.

Points East Coastal Drive features the unforgettable dune system at Greenwich in PEI National Park and the bayside community of St. Peters, as well as stunning beaches, lively ceilidhs, and the meeting of the tides at East Point. Watch for eagles and seals, and try not to miss scenic Montague, rustic Orwell Corner, and the historic Railway Museum in Elmira.

Lightthouses
The following is excerpted from the Prince Edward Island Lighthouse Society's "Lighthouses of Prince Edward Island" brochure. Many thanks to the Society for sharing this with us.

The first mode of transportation for early settlers was the sea. Lighthouses were as important to them in their trade and commerce, particularly in shipbuilding, as the railway was after Confederation. Many colonial or "first-generation" lighthouses – those built before 1873 – are octagonal shaped, and were constructed when timber was abundant in this province.

List of attractions at lighthouses:
· Panmure Island Lighthouse
· Cape Bear Lighthouse & Marconi Museum
· West Point Lighthouse Museum
· West Point Lighthouse Craft Shop
· West Point Lighthouse Inn, Museum & Restaurant
· East Point Lighthouse Craft Shop
· Wood Islands Lighthouse & Interpretive Museum
· Point Prim Lighthouse
· Souris Historic Lighthouse
· East Point Lighthouse & Welcome Centre

The "second- generation" lighthouses, those built after 1873, are square tapered. Some of the largest timber had to be imported from New Brunswick as the Island timber supply had been depleted by the shipbuilding industry. Each lighthouse had its individual day markings and distinguishing flash patterns.

Beaches
PEI and beaches. They're practically synonyms. When visitors think of Prince Edward Island, many immediately imagine the smooth warm sand, red sandstone cliffs, soft blue sky, and the white-capped waves of the surrounding seas. We have eleven hundred kilometres of shoreline, much of it in the form of pristine beaches. It's what English, French, Scottish, and Irish settlers first saw when they arrived here centuries ago. And often, it's still the first place visitors head when they arrive today.

Whether you prefer napping in the sun, splashing in the water, building a sandcastle, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or capturing that unforgettable sunset, there's a beach that's perfect for it. This Island is filled with many wonders–scenic beauty, cultural richness, diverse history, and a welcoming spirit. Wrapped around it all are those beaches. They are the boundary of Prince Edward Island, and what separates us from the rest of the world.

Amusement quotient: Sand castles (unlimited shapes and sizes minimal tools required). Digging a hole to China (unlimited also clam shell will do the trick). Jumping waves (also a game without end). As a base for volleyball court (softer than the gym floor).

Relaxation value:
Just close your eyes and listen (way cheaper than white noise machine). Open your eyes and watch (costs less than a movie). Read a book and let the seagulls punctuate the page turning (be sure to choose a beach book).

Romance factor:
Sunset on the beach (nothing better to create a romantic mood). Picnics on the beach (just watch out for sand in the sandwiches). Long walks hand in hand (enjoy it and never mind if it sounds a bit cliché). We can promise there will be nothing commonplace about your romantic walk on an Island beach.
