Planning your Time

Covering 5,656 square km (2,184 square miles), PEI is roughly the size of Delaware; and the fact that its area is small is a big advantage for visitors. First timers will want to concentrate on the central section, which includes not only the capital city (Charlottetown), but also the province’s most popular beaches, key portions of the Confederation Trail, plus must-see Anne sites. If you’ve already covered those bases, travel west or east to enjoy the quiet charms of the adjoining regions.
