AttractionsIn Prince Edward Island, it's get outside! To spend all your time indoors on Prince Edward Island would be like going to a great art museum to read the newspaper. What you'd

miss! Running, walking, biking. There are 25 bicycle rental shops on the Island, and with good reason: cycling is a great way to get around. The highest elevation is 142 meters (465 feet) above sea level, with much of the land rising and falling in gentle slopes. Add the Confederation Trail with its 357 kilometers (221 miles) of flat, groomed surface and you have a biker's and hiker's dream. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing. The Island is surrounded by warm summer water. If you're not in the ocean, you'll want to be in it

biographyLanguage –English and French

Today most Islanders are descendants of Europeans; however, PEI's first residents were the Mi'kmaq. The Mi'kmaq first lived here about 2000 years ago. They called the Island 'Epekwitk', meaning "resting on the waves". European settlers pronounced the name as 'Abegweit'.
