Golf greens, Green Gables, and outdoor activities are all top reasons to visit Prince Edward Island in summer. Beaches, bicycle paths, and trails afford reasons to venture outside, while fresh seafood dishes and local theater shows provide additional options for entertainment.
Whatever the agenda, the warm days and quiet nights of Prince Edward Island will enchant summer vacationers with fun and relaxation.
Best PEI Vacations Include Outdoor Activities and Beaches
Hiking, biking, sandcastle building, beachcombing, wildlife watching, swimming, and fishing can all be part of a PEI vacation. Visit Prince Edward Island National Park for campgrounds, beaches, and trails that lace the island's northern shore. Appreciate the stunning views of red cliffs and sands of Cavendish Beach, then visit the park’s historical attractions that include Dalvay-by-the-Sea Historic Site.
The Confederation Trail also ranks highly with activity-focused vacationers in PEI. The 273-km (170-mile) trail cuts a well-graded route across the island, stopping in at the province's largest cities: Charlottetown and Summerside. Bring bicycles, in-line skates, hiking boots, or runners to take advantage of the trail.
Anne of Green Gables House and L.M. Montgomery Museums
Living-history museums with costumed actors, demonstrations, and tours make a visit to Green Gables timeless. The green-trimmed home with its lush flower and vegetable gardens makes an ideal spot for picnics and forest walks. Tour the house – its rooms re-designed to mirror the layout of Anne's home in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic Anne of Green Gables.
For more Anne, visit the half-dozen other museums connected to Lucy Maud Montgomery, which include the author's birthplace in New London (902-886-2099), a school museum in Lower Bedeque (902-887-2076), and the Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush in Parker Corner (800-665-2663 or 902-886-2884).
PEI Summer Golfing Vacation
Prince Edward Island golf courses tempt with sunshine, low green fees, and amazing views. Courses noted as favorites by Golf Digest and The Globe and Mail include the Green Gables Golf Course near the national park, The Eagles Glenn near Cavendish Beach, Clyde River's 27 holes, and the Links at Crowbush Cove on the island's northern shore sand dunes.

Planning a PEI Summer Vacation
Summer means more options for accommodations in Prince Edward Island (think camping, cabin rentals, or motels). Choose one of the province's most central areas as a base. Stay in Charlottetown to catch live music and visit the capital city's museums. Summerside proves central and features fine dining, comfortable accommodations, and summer showings of Anne & Gilbert – The Musical at the Jubilee Theatre. On the northern shore, Cavendish is less central but a top destination with plenty of activity parks, accommodations, and restaurants in the area.
