ATTRACTIONS It is often said that Prince Edward Island is one big playground for the young at heart. After all, we have beaches and parks, trails and fishing holes, amusement parks and festivals, and great shopping. The action minded can kayak or deep sea fish, all manner of outdoor activities. Those who get their pleasure from exploring knowledge will love finding out about wind energy, or taking a fun course, or going out with a park naturalist. History and heritage your thing? - check out our museums and historic sites, several provincial sites exist to help you work on your family tree.
