Prince Edward Island (PEI)

Currency: 

  • I USD = 1.31 Canadian Dollars (as of Fall, 2019)

  • Similar price as traveling in the USA.

​​

Who to travel with: 

  • I traveled here solo, but you can do groups too! 

  • It is a safe province! 

​​

What not to miss:

  • Red sand beaches: Argyle Shore Provincial Park, Cavendish Beach – highly recommend both!

  • Lighthouses: there are SO many on this Island! My favorite lighthouse was a black & white striped one in Cedar Dunes Provincial Park! 

  • Charlottetown: capital of PEI

  • Greenwich in Prince Edward Island National Park: floating boardwalk  and sand dunes are must see things here!

  • Dunes Studio Gallery & Café

  • Anne of Green Gables: there is a Heritage Site in Cavendish and a Museum at Silver Bush- they are at different locations but both in the North

​​

Tips:

  • You can see this whole province in 2 days: I drove around it counterclockwise, but it does not matter which way you want to drive it

  • The Confederation Bridge costs $33 USD on your way back to New Brunswick. So don’t go to PEI and come back in 1 day just to go back again the next day because you will have to pay twice. Stay the night there.

  • PEI is a gorgeous island for a little more relaxation- beautiful red sand beaches & good restaurants! 

 

Vaccines: no extra vaccines needed as long as you are up to date. Ask your doctor.

 

Visa: none required as long as you are a US citizen, but you still need a Passport!
