Attractions and things to do in the
Charlottetown area
1. Scenic coastal drives abound - more
than fifty lighthouses, many fishing villages, and there are
miles of sandy beaches. Because of the Gulf Stream, the water can be
warm in late summer. Maybe you'd like a round of golf.

The Musical™ is an annual production at the Confederation
Centre Mainstage. Also, Green Gables Heritage Place, Avonlea
