What Others Are Saying about Prince Edward Island...
@Andrewcretaro
“If you’re a seafood lover, PEI is the place to be. With fresh catches and local flavours everywhere you turn, @tourismpei is truly a seafood lover’s paradise.”
@DaveyandSky
"The @northcapecoastal drive in Western Prince Edward Island is a must-experience! A classic Western PEI sunset that will leave you in awe and have you feeling a little lighter ❤️"
@laurenmneves
"Prince Edward Island might be Canada’s smallest province, but it is larger than life. It is the heart of one of literature’s most well-loved tales, and the setting of beautiful small-town summer romances for good reason—This Summer Will Be Different, anyone? I guess PEI’s small size comes with its advantages because your next adventure is never too far away!"
Food & Wine Magazine
“PEI has gifted us moments both big and small — cracked shells, kind strangers, walks along red sand beaches. I smile. This island has once again painted itself vividly into my memory — no filter required.” – July 2025
Travel + Leisure
"Voted by readers as one of their favorite islands of Canada in the 2025 World’s Best Awards, PEI is a culinary star in the fall. The Fall Flavours Food & Drink Festival is held at locations throughout the island...After all that food, a hike might be in order, and the island’s many hiking trails are great ways to visit small towns and enjoy local dishes. The 435-mile trail that loops around the perimeter of the island... passes through beaches and towns with plenty of gorgeous scenery along the way." – July 2025
