Victoria-By-The-Sea Itinerary

Situated on Prince Edward Island’s south shore, villagers have been welcoming visitors to this delightful village since the Harland Ferry docked here regularly in the early 1900’s. Over a century later, Victoria-by-the-Sea still beckons with seaside charm and first-class shops and events, dining and accommodation. Not only did the Trans-Canada Highway bypass Victoria, but so did the shopping centres and tourist amusement parks. That – along with its independent-minded citizens – is what makes Victoria the enchanting, picture postcard place it is today.

Discover the best of this historic fishing village that’s been revitalized by the many artists and creative people who call it home. 

  1. Be on the water for sunrise, mid-day or sunset with daily kayaking tours from By the Sea Kayaking.
  2. Check out the Keepers of the Light exhibit at the Victoria Seaport Museum.
  3. Try a lobster roll at the Lobster Barn or fish 'n chips at Richard’s Fresh Seafood. Your taste buds will thank you!
  4. Love chocolate? Then you will fall in love with the goodies at the Island Chocolates Company. Pair your chocolate treat with a cup of their special coffee blend, roasted in PEI.
  5. Spend time walking along the red sand and enjoy the warm waters at the public beach. 
  6. Shop at one of the many artisan shops throughout the town.
