Prince Edward Island, the smallest province of Canada (both in size and populace) is surrounded by water bodies – the Northumberland Strait on the south and west and the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the north and east. The marvelous scenic beauty of this crescent shaped marine province – the sandy beaches, in parts red (due to presence of iron oxide) and in parts white, the shifting dunes, the gently sloping hills, the coves and the marinas – have all augmented the significance of the Island as a vacation resort manifold times.
The superb climate of the region – mild winters, breezy and modest summers and a cool spring in conjunction with the appetizing food of the province spice up the vacationers’ period of stay at the Island. To further boost the already booming tourism industry, Prince Edward Island is aided by organized efforts of the Islanders and the provincial government.
Attractions and Activities:
The provincial capital and largest city is Charlottetown, which hosts the famous Charlottetown Summer Festival. Next in order of importance are Summerside, Stratford and Cornwall. Prince Edward Island’s villages are the perfect setting for fictions and non-fictions. Characterized by the contrasted forces of serenity and vitality, the villages enhance the charm of this popular tourist destination. The “must-sees” on a vacation halt at PEI should cover the Prince Edward Island National Park, the Green Gables, the amazing golf courses, the Kensington Railway Station and other innumerable attractions.
