Where is a peaceful, scenic area to possibly take photos, read a book or just relax?

Hi there,

Prince Edward Island is a photographer's dream, offering everything from dramatic coastal scenery and sandy beaches to rolling farmland, fishing harbours, and iconic red-and-white lighthouses. While the best photography location depends on your interests, you'll find lots to see, do and capture in every region of the Island. 

One of my top recommendations is Greenwich, located within the PEI National Park on the eastern shore. If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic location with a variety of landscapes to photograph, Greenwich has it all. The area is known for its floating boardwalk, expansive beaches, wetlands and famous parabolic dunes that overlook St. Peters Bay. The changing light throughout the day creates endless opportunities for landscape, nature and coastal photography.

Another favourite photography location is French River, on PEI's north shore. This picturesque fishing harbour is one of the most photographed communities on the Island. From the lookout above the harbour, you'll have sweeping views of colourful fishing boats, red cliffs, rolling hills and the winding river as it meets the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It's an especially beautiful location for sunrise, sunset and harbour photography.

Wherever your travels take you on our Island, be sure to have your camera ready because you will find endless inspiration.

P.S. Be sure to watch for the countless PEI Free Little Libraries around the Island when you are in need of a new book.
