Hi Vashtie,

This is both the easiest and most difficult question to answer - easy because anywhere you drive on PEI you’ll see all the things we’re famous for - beaches, coastline, rolling hills, lighthouses, wharf’s - difficult because there’s so many options. 

I’ll leave you with a couple favourites! 

One way for me is to take the Charlottetown exit after the bridge but then stay as close to the coast as you possibly can all the way through - Victoria, Argyle Shore, Canoe Cove all the way through to Rocky Point - a great drive! After that I’d make your way through Charlottetown and then down to Montague and along the coast that way up to Souris! From there you can come back to Charlottetown through the interior of the island or stay along the coast, seeing Greenwich, Morell Harbour, Stanhope and Brackley and so on!

The other route would be to go direct from the bridge to the Green Gables Shore through Kensington and make your way through Cavendish and then along the rest of the coast! Lots to see in that area including one of the best beaches in the world.

Hope that helps!

Al Douglas
