Prince Edward Island, Maritime province in eastern Canada
Prince Edward Island features red soil, long sandy beaches, green rolling hills, and over 90 coastal beaches along the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
Originally inhabited by the Mi'kmaq people, Prince Edward Island joined Canada as its seventh province in 1873 following negotiations about railway debts.
Prince Edward Island produces shows at the Confederation Centre of Arts, focusing on Canadian musicals, theater productions, and art exhibitions throughout the year.
Agriculture remains the primary economic activity, with farmers cultivating over 2,000 fields that cover approximately half of the province's total land area.
The Confederation Bridge spans 13 kilometers across Northumberland Strait, connecting Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick through the longest bridge over ice-covered waters.
