I want to travel PEI from tip to tip. Where is the best place to start?

Hi Katherina,
 
Greetings from Prince Edward Island! I’m happy to know you’re headed our way.
 
A fun way to explore PEI from tip to tip is by following our lighthouses. I suggest starting at East Point Lighthouse on the Island's eastern tip and finishing at North Cape Lighthouse in the west. Along the way, be sure to stop at iconic lighthouses like Point Prim Lighthouse and West Point Lighthouse, both of which are open to visitors. Be sure to check the lighthouse map ahead of time, as not all lighthouses are open to the public.

Route 2 is the fastest way to travel across the Island, which runs from Souris to Tignish (200+km). However, the most scenic route is along one of PEI's three coastal drives. These routes follow stunning shorelines and wind through charming rural communities, villages and towns. For an even more memorable drive, turn onto one of the Island's scenic heritage roads whenever you can.

If you'd like to stretch your legs, consider walking a section of the Island Walk. It's a wonderful way to slow down and soak in the Island's scenery and small-town charm.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Have fun!
