The landscape that inspired Anne of Green Gables entices legions of lovers to Canadaâs smallest province. Peaceful P.E.I. is a slow paced haven, full of distinctively Maritime delights. Red sandstone cliffs rise above gentle beaches. Lonely lighthouses dot rocky bluffs. Deserted trails beckon for romantic roaming.

This is a spectacularly beautiful area that you must see if you're in the area. With lovely forests, gorgeous beaches and scenery for miles, it's got something to appeal to everyone. We enjoyed some great hiking, a short walk on the beach and a scenic drive along the coast.

I loved seeing the cliffs off Cavendish Beach. You can go in through the national park entrance or straight to the beach. We took some of the best pictures all along this coast line and there are spots to stop and explore down onto the shore below. There are also bike trails that run through the national park so you could park and do the beach and the trails from the same spot.

Very nice trail, due to short time, we cycled from St.Peters to Morrel and back. The trail goes along the north coast and beautiful views. I plan to go back and cycle the entire trail.

During our “10-Day Canada and New England” cruise aboard Caribbean Princess, our ship docked at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Since we had spare time in the morning before our shore excursion to the Green Gables, we left the ship and walked to St. Dunstan's Basilica in an easy walking distance. Walking along Great George Street, we passed by the statue of Angus Bernard MacEachern, the first bishop of the diocese of Charlottetown. As we approached the basilica, we realized that the basilica had multiple smaller spires surrounding the towering twin spires. The basilica’s stone brick façade with the dominating twin spires and the simple cross on the gable between the spires was impressive enough for the basilica as the Cathedral of the Diocese of Charlottetown and also as a National Historic Site of Canada as a fine example of the High Victorian Gothic Revival architectural style. Upon entering the basilica, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful Gothic nave which gave us a feel of warm and comforting feel instead of dark and oppressive feel of many Gothic cathedrals. The ornate cathedral ceiling and walls in white color lightened the feel inside the nave, and the light color marble like columns also had the same effect. The ornate high altar with beautiful stained glass window with saints and angels was so elegant. The stately pipe organ and the chandeliers were elegant, too. This basilica is a must visit landmark in Charlottetown.

Located right by the river, the Victoria Park caters to people of all ages, with a bandshell, benches overlooking the bay and best of all, childrens activities including a free pool and the most amazing musical park, which I believe was sponsored by Candian Tire. Giant instruments, slides, jumpers, and four different play areas, keep children amused for hours. The boardwalk is great for strolling and one can refresh the soul just by sitting and watching the sun go down. I didn't see any concession stands, so take a picnic, plenty of fluids and enjoy a whole day at this beautiful park.
10. Green Gables

Home made famous in "Anne of Green Gables" which has been restored to match the descriptions in the books.
Reviewed By 379roberts379 - Lawrence, United States
We had a great time visiting the area that inspired the Anne of Green Gables stories. The tour guide tells you the basic and then you can walk through the house and the grounds. There is a nice modern museum area that tells the history of the author Lucy Maud Montgomery, who was inspired to right her beloved series by this beautiful area.where she spent time as a child. Well worth a visit. In July it was beautiful.
