6. Hike the beautiful Mooney's Pond Trail in the Points East Coastal Drive region.

7. Take in the Downtown Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival.

8. Stop at a farm stand, U-Pick or farmers market -  fresh food doesn't get more local.

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

Love a good fright or a spooky ghost story?

10. For both scary and happy haunts, visit Route 6 Motel, Chief's Haunted Barn or the Haunted Mansion. You can also take part in a Victoria Era Séance and learn of the darker side of PEI communities with walks and talks in Summerside, Three Rivers and Charlottetown (see below).
