Anne of Green Gables
The story of Anne of Green Gables was inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery’s time in this region. You may visit her modest birthplace in New London, or one of the family summer homes at either the MacNeill homestead in Cavendish or Silver Bush in Park Corner. Most famous of all, of course, is Green Gables. This former farm belonging to LM Montgomery’s relatives is now part of the LM Montgomery National Historic Site as it was the inspiration for her most famous novel, Anne of Green Gables.
Also in Cavendish, you can visit Avonlea Village to get a taste of what it was like to live in Anne’s time on PEI over 100 years ago.

The Bottle Houses
Over 25 000 recycled bottles ingeniously cemented together to create the Bottle Houses, a must-see tourist attraction situated in Cap-Egmont, Prince Edward Island. They were built by the late Édouard T. Arsenault. He gave birth to these houses after having received a postcard of a glass castle from his daughter in 1979, an attraction she had visited on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. That same summer, he started collecting bottles from his community, mostly from a local restaurant, community dance halls, friends, relatives and neighbours.
He spent the winter in the basement of his home, cleaning bottles, removing labels and dreaming of his project. In the spring of 1980, at the age of 66, he began his construction, a mere hobby yet. As his six-gabled structure was taking form, visitors started coming in. Impressed by his work, they encouraged him to continue and to advertise it as a tourist attraction. And so, in 1981, the first Bottle House was open to the public.
From 1980 to the spring of 1984, he cleverly cemented over 25,000 bottles of various shapes, sizes and colours, into three fantasy-like buildings.
Address: 6891 Route 11, Cap-Egmont, on the North Cape Coastal Drive, in the midst of La Région Évangéline, approximately twenty-five kilometers west of Summerside and 40 minutes from the Confederation Bridge. GPS N46 24.120; W64 06.104

Golf
Coast To Coast Greens
It's no small feat when Canada's smallest province becomes Canada's Number One Golf Destination, but this tiny province has earned the distinction twice in a row.
From the air, Prince Edward Island might appear to be one giant golf course; rolling greens, sand and water traps alternating with woodlots. From there it just gets better. Plan your vacation around the more than 33 Island courses, keeping in mind that, for real golf fans, it is possible to play more than one course per day. But for those who want to kick back between golf rounds, remember that Prince Edward Island is the perfect spot!
