Real EstatePrince Edward IslandPrince Edward Island has a reputation for beauty and the province was recently voted by a tourism survey to be the third most beautiful island in North America. Islanders are proud of their ‘Island home’, a crescent shaped island situated above Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It has been described as the “Garden of the Gulf”, the “Emerald Isle”, and the ‘Million Acre Farm”. But one of its most endearing names is the Mi’kmaq people’s, “Abegweit”, meaning ‘cradled on the waves’.You can drive from one tip of Prince Edward Island to the other in a day’s drive and that will give you all the reasons for our ‘third place ribbon’. The pastoral beauty of a working landscape of gently rolling farmland and seaside villages has been charming visitors and tourists for over a century. We are famous for our beaches, golf courses, oysters, lobster and mussels and the warm nature of our people.Every year, about a million tourists come to visit “the Island” and most go to the Prince Edward Island National Park, the second most visited national park in Canada, even though it is only a thin strip of land along the north shore. But what a strip of coastline!L.M. Montgomery made an international sensation with her “Anne of Green Gables” novel about an orphan who came to live on a north shore farm at the beginning of the 20th century. Montgomery’s description of the Island landscape put P.E.I. on the world map. The popularity of her novel led to the creation of the national park around the setting of her story. When you visit Prince Edward Island today you will see much the same patchwork quilt of old family farms.Softball enthusiasts will be entertained by the Island landscape as they drive through the countryside between the ball diamonds in Charlottetown and Summerside. Gently rolling hills and viewscapes across bays and rivers will entertain our visitors on the pleasant hour drive between venues.If you want to learn more about what to do and where to go on Prince Edward Island, visit or call 1-888-PEI-PLAY and you can pick out what you want to see and do.
