The Central Coastal Region is where you’ll find Island experiences that represent our true character. Everything from arts, crafts, antiques, live music and theatre, historical sites and lighthouses, to shopping, family fun, world-class golf, parks and natural areas, pristine beaches, and photo ops, like The Confederation Bridge, not to be missed.
Islanders are known for our friendliness and welcoming ways. In keeping with our reputation, the region provides a spectrum of accommodations to suit any visitor’s needs as well. The region is home to The Culinary Institute of Canada and countless other opportunities to savour the Island’s exquisite culinary offerings. We’ve developed a culinary reputation that transcends our world-famous seafood and humble but outstanding potatoes.
Created by author L.M. Montgomery and first published in 1908, Anne of Green Gables has become the Island’s best-known ambassador. Today, her charm and enthusiasm fill the region’s Anne-themed sites, offering historical insight and family fun activities.
