Copper Bottom Brewing

We are Kings County, PEI's first craft brewery. Featuring great beer and world class entertainment year-round, Copper Bottom acts as a community hub for locals & friends to come together for a cold pint over-looking the beautiful Montague River.

Reviewed By EarleF_13 - Prince Edward Island, Canada

Great craft beer made in house. The view off the deck of the river is beautiful. A relaxed atmosphere is found inside with community tables, as well as a few private tables as well/ Bar tenders are super friendly and very knowledgeable as well.The live entertainment is among some of the best PEI has to offer. The biggest down side for us is they don't serve food. You are welcome to take in food from elsewhere, but it is not the same when half your party has to leave for 25-30 minutes to get some. Other than that, this is a must stop in Montague.

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.

St. Dunstan's Basilica

This is a beautiful old cathedral located in the heart of the city. It's over 100 years old.

Reviewed By 476jael - Long Island, United States

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.

Reviewed By TaraL942 - Charlottetown, Canada

We went to the Open House at the beginning of the month (Dec. 4th). This is such a beautiful house and it's lovely to see the gorgeous Christmas decorations in the 4 rooms that are open to the public. There was a youth choir singing when we were there, and we were greeted by the Lieutenant Governor, Antoinette Perry.

Cabot Beach Provincial Park

Reviewed By Runnermom1020

We visited this beach on our last day in PEI. What a beautiful place. The beach has a sandbar that you can walk to and them jump off of into the water. It was really lovely. The kids loved it and the water was just divine. We spent several hours there before taking off for lunch. I highly recommend this beach for anyone with kids as the water is mostly shallow and warm.There are also beautiful red rock cliffs to admire as well. Well worth the trip.
