Confederation Bridge

Confederation Bridge

Have you ever driven across the world’s longest bridge over ice-covered waters? Well, now’s your chance! Spanning 12.9 kilometers, the Confederation Bridge connects Prince Edward Island to mainland Canada, offering stunning panoramic views of the Northumberland Strait. 

Beyond the bridge itself, the surrounding area is rich with must-see attractions. Stop by Seacow Head Lighthouse, a picturesque landmark featured in Road to Avonlea, or explore Borden-Carlton Historical Park, where you can learn about the island’s maritime heritage.

Basin Head Provincial Park

Rounding out our Top 5 must-visit destinations in PEI is Basin Head Provincial Park, home to the famous “singing sands.” This spectacular beach is a favorite among families, sun-seekers, and adventure lovers, offering both relaxation and unique natural wonders.  

Its high silica content creates a distinctive ”squeaking sound”, making it one of Canada’s most unique beaches. But there’s more to explore beyond the pristine shoreline: visitors can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, a fisheries museum, and plenty of opportunities to soak in the island’s coastal charm!  

A wooden boardwalk leads down to a beach, flanked by grassy areas and a red flower pot. The ocean and waves are visible under a partly cloudy sky, with small structures like a shed and possible playground equipment near the shore. Trees and shrubs line the right side.
