Overview

Prince Edward Island, often referred to as PEI, is Canadas smallest province, known for its stunning landscapes and rich history. Located on the east coast, it is surrounded by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and connected to the mainland by the Confederation Bridge. The islands capital, Charlottetown, is famous for being the birthplace of Confederation, where the meetings that led to the formation of Canada were held in 1864. Visitors can explore historical sites, including Province House and the Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Agriculture is a significant part of life on the island, with fields of potatoes and other crops stretching across the countryside. The island is also renowned for its delicious seafood, particularly lobster and mussels. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities for activities like cycling, hiking, and kayaking. With its picturesque beaches, charming small towns, and vibrant cultural scene, Prince Edward Island offers a peaceful and welcoming environment for all who visit.
