Coastal Drives
Central Coastal Drive
The Central Coast Drive is the quintessential Prince Edward Island experience. From the red sandstone cliffs on the south shore, to the picture-perfect sand dunes on the north shore, to a certain red-headed lass who resides in Green Gables, this coastal drive encompasses all of the features that make Prince Edward Island Canada’s favourite vacation destination.
Spend an idyllic summer afternoon lounging on one of the famous beaches located within the national park system where you can swim in the warmest waters north of the Carolinas. Couples will love playing world-class golf courses and dining at romantic restaurants, while families will thrill the little ones with rollercoasters, waterslides and movies under the stars.
On the Central Coast Drive you’ll experience all the things that drew you to PEI and make the memories that will keep you coming back.
