Prince Edward Island is one of eastern Canada’s maritime provinces, off New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The large island is marked by red-sand beaches (from the breakdown of red sandstone), lighthouses, and fertile farmland, and is renowned for seafood like lobster and mussels. “The island”, as locals call it, is well-known as the home of the gregarious Anne Shirley from Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic Anne of Green Gables. I spent a week exploring Prince Edward Island, from every lighthouse-marked corner to quaint villages and fishing harbours. Timing was perfect for fields abloom with Lupine and the end of the lobster season.
