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.
Prince Edward Island has an active arts community
offering theatre, galleries, craft outlets and demonstrations and even
workshops for writers and photographers. Music is part of our culture and
can be experienced at festivals or in local nightspots - don’t miss our
ceilidhs, they are awesome!
