Breathtaking views with every turn
Prince Edward Island has three coastal drives to explore. You’ll stop again and again for photos of grazing cows, fishing boats, country churches, pretty painted houses as well as historic and iconic landmarks. Take time to walk around our cities too; each has a unique vibe and coastal boardwalk. Visit scenic lookouts along the way to learn more about community landmarks, history and culture.

No wrong turns here
There is no such thing as a wrong turn on the Island; only the chance to explore a road less travelled – be it a narrow red dirt lane arched by hardwood trees, rolling country hillside or a byway lined with lupins, self-serve potato stands and folk art mailboxes.
