Hi Cindy,

Thank you for your question. There is so much to see and do on Prince Edward Island-where do we start! Depending on your interests, we have museums, parks, beaches, coastal drives, culture, and lighthouses. You can learn about everything there is to see and do here. 

Charlottetown has a tour called Taste the Town Food and Fact Tour. It is a 3.5 hr tour that allows you to sample mouthwatering selections around the city.

I can recommend some seafood restaurants that might allow you to plan your own food tour of the Island. They will be a little spread out, but the main focus would be in the Central and Eastern section of the Island. First, there is Richard’s Seafood – well known for their lobster rolls. They have two locations, one at Victoria-by-the-Sea and one at Covehead, both of which are in close proximity to a beach. Victoria is situated on a red-sand shore, whereas Covehead is on a white-sand shore, so I would recommend visiting both locations for their lobster roll and beach! Victoria also has the Lobster Barn Pub & Eatery. About 20 mins away from Covehead is North Rustico, which is where Blue Mussels Café is located. Contrary to its name, it is not only known for mussels, but for delicious seafood in general. Many visitors and locals frequent this place for another reason, namely the setting of the restaurant. It is situated on a water front property, so you get a taste of an exquisite water front view along with their exquisite seafood cuisine! On the Eastern part of the Island, there is Point Prim Chowder House on the southern shore and Clam Diggers Beach House & Restaurant on the central shore. Both are known for their seafood chowders and definitely worth a visit.

Enjoy!

Kelly
