Discover charlottetown and more!
PEI has many handles, from Canada’s Food Island to Canada’s Golf Island, so make sure you’re leaving time to explore all our Island has to offer! You can rent a bike and cycle the Confederation Trail, take a self guided Anne of Green Gables tour, and, while October may be a bit chilly for a swim, so long as you arm yourself with a toque and scarf, a walk on one of our gorgeous beaches is a must.
Tourism PEI has put together several itineraries to help you decide!
