Prince Edward Island is an island province in the east of Canada. It is the smallest province and is nicknamed ‘Garden of the Gulf’ referring to its lush scenery, and ‘Birthplace of Confederation’. It was named after Prince Edward, the fourth son of King George III and the father of Queen Victoria. Most of the 140,000 residents live around the capital city of Charlottetown.
The pretty landscape is known for its rolling hills, red soil and sandy beaches which can be enjoyed from our Prince Edward Island Webcams. Much of the rural economy is based upon small-scale agriculture, producing mostly potatoes.
Winters are cold with many storms and cold Arctic air. Curling is a major sport here. Summers are pleasant but there is plenty of rainfall all year round.
