There is a warmth that envelopes you here, and it’s embodied by the colour red: the red sand beaches that await your footprints and castles, the red jutting cliffs that will both impress and humble you and the red clay roads that disappear over hills and beckon you to follow. These are Mother Nature’s imprints on Red Sands Shore.

You’ll have plenty of reasons to get up early when you stay “down east,” starting with a delicious country breakfast on your cottage deck while the glowing sun rises over the ocean. That will surely get your day off to a good start and it will only get better from there. The beaches in the east are among the best on the Island; the spectacular dune system at Greenwich in PEI National Park is a must-do for this region.

Fresh seafood is one of the main reasons people visit PEI and the North Cape Coastal Drive certainly does its part to fulfill their desire. Western PEI is rich with ocean-fresh delicacies... Island mussels, snow crab, lobster and our celebrated Malpeque Oysters. In fact, producing a harvest of oysters served in restaurants from PEI to Europe, the North Cape Coastal Drive is nicknamed The Canadian Oyster Coast.

If you decide to start your adventure in Charlottetown with a guided walking tour, “The Fathers and Ladies of Confederation” will be happy to oblige. Dressed in full period costume, the Fathers and Ladies will show you what makes this capital city such a historic gem. You’ll see why it’s also a vibrant urban centre that dances to a beat all its own. Canada was born (or perhaps more accurately, was conceived) here when the Fathers of Confederation met at Province House National Historic Site in 1864 to plot out the creation of Canada.

Whether you approach Prince Edward Island by land, sea, or air, you'll feel a strange excitement begin to stir as you wonder, "What will it be like there?" No guarantees, of course, except that your heart rate will slow, your smiles will last longer, and you'll sometimes forget where you left your shoes.
