Prince Edward Island DAY-TO-DAY ITINERARY

Day 1: Attractions for Groups on Prince Edward Island

The first morning starts with an adventure to the North Shore. Tourists love driving through Prince Edward Island National Park, Brackley – Dalvay, home to the wondrous Brackley Beach. This splashy spot is a happening summer destination due to its white sand and proximity to Charlottetown. And if you are looking for something a little more serene, the region has numerous smaller beaches that see much less traffic than Brackley Beach. Those who enjoy a quiet day on the waterfront should take note. To finish out the morning, Covehead Harbour, Covehead Lighthouse and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site are additional stops along this beautiful stretch of coastline.

Before lunch, travelers should step back in time at Green Gables Heritage Place, where you can experience the days of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Take a walk in the Haunted Woods or stroll down Lovers Lane as you come to understand what inspired Montgomery to write Anne of Green Gables.

Soon enough, you will be ready to satisfy your midday hunger at Blue Mussel Cafe, a seasonal seafood restaurant located in North Rustico Harbour. This popular eatery prioritizes fare that is fresh and local and offers a large variety of delicious and wholesome meals with spectacular views.

After lunch, it is time to explore Cavendish, a summer destination with family-friendly attractions, stunning beaches and scenic golf courses. Cavendish was made famous by the Anne of Green Gables novels, but there is more: it is also centrally located on the island’s North Shore. Check out Cavendish Boardwalk or Avonlea Village, and then head to Cavendish Beach to close out the afternoon.

After a thrilling day of beach-going and sight-seeing, dinner awaits—and luckily, Prince Edward Island presents top-notch options. There is Sou’West Bar & Grill, with a peaceful outdoor seating area, or Fisherman’s Wharf Lobster Suppers, where guests can enjoy a scrumptious lobster supper and the Island’s only 60-foot salad bar.

Day 2: Venturing East on the Island

The second day of your Prince Edward Island adventure can start with a leisurely hike in Greenwich- Prince Edward Island National Park, one of Canada’s unique natural treasures. Bring your boots and explore the Greenwich Dunes Trail, which includes a walk on an extensive floating boardwalk to one of the Island’s pristine beaches. Upon arrival, you can view the spectacular parabolic dune system rising above white sand beaches. The curious should take the time to learn how natural forces and 10,000 years of human settlement have made Greenwich a must-see attraction.

An alternative plan: hit the links at one of Prince Edward Island’s fine golf courses. Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled with their menu of choices: Brudenell River, Dundarave, and The Links at Crowbush.

After a calming hike or a competitive round of golf, lunch awaits—and two spots should be considered. One is Bogside Brewing, where you can order shrimp poppers and blue mussels. The other is Rick’s Fish N Chips, which serves chowder and other seafood in a casual space.

In the evening, tourists will want to head over to the Inn at Bay Fortune to enjoy the Fireworks Feast, which runs nightly from May through October. As part of this event, chef Michael Smith has created an interactive and immersive culinary attraction, featuring a feast prepared from vegetables grown on the Inn’s own sustainable farm. There is much to discover, from woodland trails to the Mushroom Patch and the SkyDeck, leaving little doubt travelers will enjoy this true farm-to-fire-to-fork experience.

Those staying in Eastern Prince Edward Island for the night should browse through several resorts that are perfect for group travel: Rodd Brudenell River Resort; Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort; and the Inn at Fortune Bay.

Day 3: Arts and History in Charlottetown

The final day presents an opportunity to explore Charlottetown, where you can spend the morning walking the downtown area. Some places to stop at include Great George Street; Victoria Row; Peake’s Wharf; Founders Food Hall & Market; and Province House. When you are hungry, there are brunch and lunch places in the area. For example, Leonhard’s Cafe & Restaurant serves healthy and delicious meals created daily from scratch and served up in a relaxing atmosphere reminiscent of European cafes. Leonhard’s also has gluten-free options.

More intense foodies might opt for Taste the Town, a three-hour culinary walking tour through downtown Charlottetown. Your guide will tell you about the capital city and the role it played in the development of Canada. You will also learn about the positive effects food has had on the Prince Edward Island economy—and your taste buds will be tantalized every stop along the way.

Before dinner, travelers should hop on-board Top Notch Charters and learn how to fish for lobster with Captain Mark Jenkins. Located behind a restaurant called Lobster on the Wharf, this attraction presents a fun activity to do before trying Cows Creamery, which boasts some of Canada’s best ice cream.

After ice cream, dinner suggestions abound. Some tasty seafood favorites are Sims Corner Steakhouse & Oyster Bar and Claddagh Oyster House. Meanwhile, those looking for something quicker should stop by Water Prince Corner Shop.

Finally, theatre enthusiasts should complete their three-day itinerary with a visit to the Confederation Centre of the Arts, which celebrates the origins and evolution of Canada with a rich variety of heritage and arts programming. The goal is to inspire Canadians to consider their country’s past, present, and future through performing arts, visual arts, and interactive learning experiences. Situated in the heart of historic Charlottetown, this venue also includes the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, which has over 16,000 works of historic and contemporary art by Canadian artists.
