| Prince Edward Island Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Cavendish Beach Cavendish Beach Joseph Hollick in off season It's difficult to talk about Prince Edward Island (PEI) without mentioning the story of Anne of Green Gables. Author Lucy Montgomery tells a wonderful tale of a girl growing up in the Green Gables area of PEI. This area, now the Island's most popular tourist attraction, is home to the Green Gables House. The provincial capital is Charlottetown, a "must see" destination. The Confederation Centre of the Arts is well worth a visit. The Confederation Bridge is the link between the Island and Canada's mainland (at New Brunswick). It was completed in 1997 to increase access to the province. So far it has been a huge success. The bridge is almost 13 km long and takes about 12 minutes to drive across. Be sure to visit the superb beaches. Try Prince Edward Island mussels, an Atlantic Canadian dietary staple sought after everywhere else in the country as a great delicacy. - just add melted garlic butter! __________Sights Edit This Anne's room in Anne of Green Gables House Anne's room in Anne of Green Gables House Joseph Hollick [Add Sight] Prince Edward Island National Park Edit This Anne of Green Gables House Anne of Green Gables House photo by: Joseph Hollick Prince Edward Island National Park preserves a coastal area along the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

A small city of about 35,000 residents in a largely rural province, Charlottetown has an uncommonly diverse collection of resources and facilities -- shopping, dining, culture, sports -- for a city of its size. On "the Island," it is only in Charlottetown that you will find a Thai restaurant, a Taiwanese tea house, national chains' local outlets, and a national arts centre. History Charlottetown is extremely proud of its very special place in history as the "The Birthplace of Confederation," for it was where the first meeting of the "Fathers of Confederation" was held. These meetings led to the creation of the modern Canada in 1867; ironically, Prince Edward Island itself didn't join the new country until 1873. The City of Charlottetown, named in honour of Queen Charlotte of England, was incorporated as a city in 1855 and celebrates its 150 anniversary in 2005. City Layout The four large squares included in surveyor Samuel Holland’s original late-1700s layout of Charlottetown still exist to this day: Hillsborough Square, Connaught Square, Rochford Square and Kings Square form four corners of a rectangular plan at the centre of which is Province House, the seat of the provincial Legislative Assembly, and the nominal centre of the city. ________Getting There Edit This By Air Charlottetown's airport is located only 5 minutes from the centre of the city, and is served with scheduled service by Air Canada (and the regional Air Canada Jazz) and JetsGo, and chartered service by Prince Edward Air. There are are general aviation facilities. By Road Charlottetown is near the geographical centre of Prince Edward Island, almost equidistant (about an hour's drive) from the Confederation Bridge (from New Brunswick) and the Northumberland Ferries terminal at Wood Islands (with seasonal ferries to Nova Scotia).
