Armchair Tour - Page Eight - Prince Edward Island

Little Prince Edward Island is an equal partner in Canadian Confederation. Its population has changed only slightly from the date when Canada officially became a nation.

In fact, Canada actually became a country from historic meetings held on the Island. This Islanders make clear to visitors at every opportunity.

PEI is the easiest and most carefree of the Atlantic Canada provinces to cycle in. You are never far from a cozy Bed and Breakfast or seafood restaurant. While some points of the island are loved to death, there are countless parts you can have all your own.

Small, quiet backroads run everywhere and in all directions. Since there are so many roads, routing is never much of a concern as more roads going your direction are only a few minutes ahead.

The Island is reached at the east end by a ferry from Nova Scotia. The new Confederation Bridge connects the province from southeastern New Brunswick.

The Magdalen Islands is part of the Province of Quebec which is reached from the town of Souris, at the far eastern end of the Island. Many PEI itineraries include a trip to the Islands.

The Prince Edward Island Bicycle Page lists everything to do with cycling in the province.
