225 km (140 miles) in length and varying in width from 6.5 km
to 65 km (4 to 40 miles), visitors will find a charming combination
of rural and city life on Prince Edward Island. Nestled among
its shores are quaint fishing villages, full-service urban centres
and quiet rural communities. The total population of the Island
is approximately 140,000, and the Capital City of Charlottetown
has a population of 34,000. At the height of tourist season,
more than a million visitors come to the province. There is something
magical about the landscape of PEI. Many visitors compare it
to the gentle grace of Ireland and rural England. There seem
to be a thousand shades of green, and the rich red soil is unlike
any found elsewhere. The pristine beaches stretch for miles,
and it is not unusual to see a farmer working his fields to within
a few feet of rugged cliffs.
