Prince Edward Island may be Canada’s smallest province, but it’s packed full of adventures and attractions to keep you entertained for a week or more. Think rolling green fields, bright red soil, pristine beaches and quaint fishing villages as well as everyone’s favourite red-haired heroine, Anne of Green Gables. Couple with this warm hospitality, delectable seafood, an abundance of authentic hands-on experiences, and it’s easy to see why Prince Edward Island is so popular.
