Prince Edward Island, kurz PEI genannt, präsentiert sich äußerst vielseitig und farbenfroh. Weltweit bekannt sind die grünen Giebel des gleichnamigen Farmhauses, dessen viktorianischer Charme die Autorin L. M. Montgomery dazu inspirierte, die fiktive Nationalikone Anne hier aufwachsen zu lassen. Kulinarisch abgerundet wird Ihr Besuch in der Prince Edward Island Preserve Company, wo Ihnen, neben einer Vielzahl von inseltypischen Spezialtäten, der König der Meeresfrüchte serviert wird.
