Prince Edward Island Travel Forum

Any recommendations for traveling to PEI?

If no one knows where you're travelling from, roughly your age, your interests, it's hard to help.

If you're flying, then you'll probably go into Charlottetown, it's a small island, and you can do all kinds of great beach-y things. Or maybe you're going in winter?

By car from ?? the best is to travel up through New Brunswick, cross on the Confederation Bridge, (closed in winter sometimes) and then take the ferry (may only run in summer on regular schedule) back to Cape Breton, drive down to Amherst, back through NB to Quebec, or Down to Halifax, take the 101 to Digby, catch the ferry to St. John, and drive down through St. Stephen, into Calais Maine, and outh from there. It really depends where you are coming from. If you want people to talk to you, take the time to put a bit on your home page.... you'll get tons of answers if they know a little about you.

I guess if you insist on not telling us where you are coming from because that is your secret, we can keep "secret" How to get to PEI.

Cool! Jonellis! Greater Yarmouth doesn't look too different from my Yarmouth, and just up the road a ways, (about 300 miles) you will find Spring Hill
(That's Spring Hill, Nova Scotia)

Not to mention, my mother's mother's maiden name was Ellis!

talk about a string of coincidence!

Attractions are the people; the beaches; the pace of life on the island. I really only know the Gulf side (Stanhope) area to Cavendish or what they call Anne's Land and Charlottetown. All other attractions pale in comparison to these three. Summerside I'm sure is wonderful in the summer, but do try to get over to Stanhope, Rustico, Cavendish. Probably not helpful but I hope you do go, as it is as close to heaven on earth as you will get.
