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

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.
