Welcome to Prince Edward Island!
The Mi’kmaq were the first residents of the Island and appropriately named it Epekwitk,
meaning “cradled on the waves.” Today, PEI is a culturally vibrant province that is home
to sprawling beaches, world-class cuisine, pristine golf courses, historic venues, thrilling
outdoor activities, a fictious girl named Anne and the best sunsets in the world.
Boasting more than 800 km of shoreline, PEI is your oyster to explore. We have a number
of scenic drives to ensure you don’t miss an inch of the Island.
North Cape Coastal Drive is the northwestern part of the Island from Summerside to
West Point and North Cape to Cascumpec.
Central Coastal Drive includes two separate drives. Green Gables Shore is located on
the north side of the province, featuring the Gulf of St. Lawrence’s soft sand beaches and
Anne of Green Gables. Red Sands Shore is located on the south side of the province,
with red sandy cliff beaches and the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait.
Points East Coastal Drive – Discover the rich history of Eastern PEI, from Mount Stewart
and Elmira to Orwell.
Though information is accurate at the
time of printing, we advise you to check
ahead and ensure attractions, restaurants
and accommodations are in operation.

PEI POTATOES
Potato farming is deeply rooted in the history and
culture of Prince Edward Island. Some of the Island’s
earliest settlers pioneered the cultivation of potatoes in
Canada. After more than two centuries, Island potato
farmers continue to demonstrate the same pride, respect
for the earth, and commitment to family tradition as their
ancestors - always finding new ways to improve.
Our farmers share a special bond with the Island’s soil,
many have grown up on the land they continue to farm.
96% of PEI potato farms are family owned, and that
tradition isn’t expected to change anytime soon.
The Island provides an ideal climate for growing
potatoes. Cold, snowy winters break disease and pest
cycles, while providing moisture for the next season.
Summers are warm and provide adequate sunshine and
rainfall to encourage growth and high yield harvests.
The Island’s famous red, sandy soil is rich in iron and
other nutrients that give PEI potatoes their unique quality
and flavor. There is something special about our million-
acre farm, and there’s certainly something special about
the people who care for it.
What does it take to grow a
quality PEI potato?
It takes an Island.

ESCAPE ESCAPE
RIP CURRENT
ESCAPE ESCAPE
CURRENT
CURRENT
RIP CURRENTS are powerful, fast-moving currents that can pull you away from shore.
Even in moderate surf, a rip current can move 1.5 meters per second.
BEACH SAFETY: Break the Grip of the Rip!
Our oceans are beautiful but they can be dangerous. Respect the ocean and the changing
conditions to stay safe at the beach. If you have questions, talk to the surfguards!
Caught in a rip?
• Stay Calm. Attract Attention. Conserve Energy.
• Do not swim against the current.
• Tread Water. Waves can assist you back to shore.
• Swim Parallel to shore out of the current-toward the breaking waves.
While not a comprehensive list, these are a few tips
to ensure you fully enjoy your beach experience:
Stanhop
e Beach
Know before you go.
When in doubt, don’t go out!
• Rip currents have calmer water with fewer breaking waves.
• Observe surf conditions. Follow surfguard advice.
• Never swim alone.
• If surf is present, beware of rip currents.
• Swim between the red and yellow flags.
Other Important Tips
• Keep children under supervision.
• Be sun safe. Cover up.
• Wear SPF. Rent or bring a sunshade.
• Stay hydrated – bring water in a refillable container.
