Prince Edward Island
Canada · 30 m
Description
Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest province and a picturesque island in the Atlantic region. It is known for its red sandstone cliffs, gently rolling countryside, lighthouse lined shores, and long sandy beaches. The island became famous as the setting that inspired the literary classic Anne of Green Gables, with the Green Gables Heritage Place preserving the farmhouse that inspired author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Fresh seafood, especially lobster and Malpeque oysters, together with local farm products, define the island's culinary identity. Prince Edward Island combines maritime charm, literary heritage, and unspoiled natural beauty to create one of the most appealing destinations on Canada's Atlantic coast.
