Good afternoon;

October is the most beautiful month on Prince Edward Island. The spectacular fall foliage is at its peak around the middle of the month. The perfect time to explore PEI’s scenic heritage roads, which bring scenic to a whole new level.

Stroll through picturesque villages including Victoria-by-the-Sea, Rustico and Georgetown. Hike or bike the Confederation Trail and go for a beach walk. The weather in October is usually dry, so you’ll be able to walk miles and miles of beaches.

We have a number of attractive fall events and packages that may be of interest to you. We hope to see you then!
