PRINCE EDWARD
ISLAND
Spoiled for Choice
Canada's smallest province is certainly a colourful
place. Ringed by clear blue water, P.E.I. includes
emerald-green fields, iconic red cliffs and beaches
blessed with white or pink sand. Like the palette,
the vacation possibilities here are varied and, as a
result, the Island attracts people with many
different interests.

A FOOD LOVER'S PARADISE
Without a doubt, Prince Edward Island has
become an international culinary destina-
tion. All of September is devoted to a "Fall
Flavours" festival, and hardly a month goes
by without new restaurants, food tours and
culinary experiences sprouting on the scene.
There are also places to learn how to cook
like a pro. Culinary Boot Camps—including
one for kids—are a big hit at Holland
College, regarded by many as Canada's
premier culinary institute. Need something
to wash down all that fab food? The
province's craft breweries, wineries
and distilleries have you covered
(www.tourismpei.com/what-to-
