Optional trip to Brule, Nova Scotia to see where the Hogan’s landed in 1825 and see the Hogan cemetery.This will leave lots of time for you to explore the Island and experience our way of life. There's no better time to visit PEI than in the summer -- there's SO much going on!
When you arrive, you MUST pick up a copy of The Buzz, PEI's guide to arts, culture, and entertainment. Not only is it an informative publication, but it's absolutely FREE!!! Check it out on-line at The Buzz, and start planning the rest of your visit.
Have a look at the PEI Visitor's Guide as well. You can view it online or download it. Print copies can be requested, however, with the possibility of a postal strike, your best bet is to view it on your computer.
We have something for everyone: live theatre and musical theatre; traditional Irish, Scottish, and Acadian music; classical music; art galleries; community and Provincial museums; amusement parks; shops with pottery and other Island-made crafts; kayak, paddle board, and bicycle rentals; golf courses; yoga studios, including hot yoga; movie theatres (a Cineplex Odeon and an independent theatre); a farmer's market (Wednesdays and Saturdays in Charlottetown); beaches (you have to pay to go to National Park beaches with amenities, but there are lots of others that are free); lobster suppers; beautiful scenery to enjoy and photograph; and the list goes on and on.
See you soon!
