A small Canadian province known for its red sand beaches, maritime landscapes, Anne of Green Gables, and as the birthplace of Confederation.

Tips from the community

Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province and the only one without any land borders, making for one of the country’s prime beach destinations. Not only are they ubiquitous, but thanks to the high iron content in its soil, the beaches stand out with their beautiful rust-red sand – a truly unique sight. The enchanting maritime province rounds out the postcard-perfect scenery with soft blue skies, grassy hills, sandstone cliffs, and active lighthouses, whereas dramatic dunes and nearby seaside villages are simply waiting to be explored.
