About the map

Prince Edward Island is situated along the east coast of Canada in the Atlantic region. It’s not only the smallest province in size in Canada, but it’s also the least populous with approximately 150,000 people. Prince Edward Island is completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The Confederation Bridge connects PEI to New Brunswick to the southwest. Nova Scotia is located to the southeast, separated by the Northumberland Strait. The capital and largest city, Charlottetown, is located off the south coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The province of Prince Edward Island is one of the three maritime provinces with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

It’s famous for being the home of Anne of Green Gables, which is now a heritage site in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. Additionally, it’s recognized for its seafood like lobster and mussels. Although P.E.I wasn’t one of the first four provinces to join the Confederation of Canada in 1867, it shortly joined after British Columbia in 1873.
