Good afternoon Mary Jo;

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander. Most attractions and retailers do accept US dollars. However, you will get more value for your dollar by purchasing Canadian dollars at a chartered bank here upon your arrival. 

I invite you to download or order our 2024 visitor’s guide. You can always stay in touch by signing up for the Tourism PEI newsletter which includes details on upcoming festivals and events and recipes too!

Have a wonderful summer vacation!

Verna Lynne
