Here are some favourite spots and special events to check out on Prince Edward Island from mid-September to the end of October.

1. Savour Canada's Food Island with the PEI International Shellfish Festival (Sept 18-21) and Fall Flavours Food & Drink Festival.
2. Walk or cycle the Confederation Trail or The Island Walk.
3. Spend a weekend searching for treasures during the 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale in late September. It's a mecca if you love a good hunt.
4. Drive back in time along one of PEI's iconic scenic heritage roads.
5. Tour local craft and artisan shops in search of the perfect finds and favours.
6. Looking for the perfect pumpkin or a peck of apples? Visit a farm stand, u-pick or farmers' market; it doesn't get more local.

Some say there is "nothing better than sweater weather."

7. Hike the beautiful Mooney's Pond Trail along Points East Coastal Drive or one of PEI's many other hiking & walking trails.

8. Take in the Downtown Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival.

9. Follow a round of disc golf with a craft brew, winery and cidery tour along Red Sands Shore.
