Route DetailsMap

Day 1
  • Red Coach Inn, Buffalo Avenue, Niagara Falls, NY, USA
  • Niagara Falls, NY, USA

We stayed overnight at the Red Coach Inn, where they filmed parts of The Office.

Day 2
  • Welland Canal, Ontario, Canada
  • Old Country Inn, Unionville, Markham, ON, Canada
  • Old Firehall Confectionery, Main Street Unionville, Markham, ON, Canada

The canal was boring for me but my husband loved watching the boats go through the locks. We then drove to Unionville to see Gilmore Girls filming locations – worth it, cute town with good food. Stayed by the Toronto airport.

 

Day 3
  • The Chip Shack, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • Peakes Quay Marina, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • St. Dunstan's Basilica Cathedral, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • Victoria Row, Richmond Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • Beaconsfield Historic House, Kent Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
  • The Harbour House, Grafton Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada

Flew to Prince Edward Island. Walked around downtown and had a good lunch at The Chip Shack. Walked down all the famous streets and saw an Anne of Green Gables Musical at the Confederation Centre. Stayed at the Harbour House.

Day 4
  • Victoria, Prince Edward Island, PE, Canada
  • Island Chocolates, Main Street, Victoria, PE, Canada
  • Confederation Bridge, Confederation Bridge, Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island, Canada
  • Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum, Dewar Lane, O'Leary, PE, Canada
  • West Point Lighthouse Inn & Museum, Cedar Dunes Park Road, O'Leary, Prince Edward Island, Canada
  • Chez Yvonne's, Prince Edward Island 6, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • Cavendish Boardwalk, Cavendish Road, Hunter River, PE, Canada
  • Kindred Spirits Inn & Cottages, Memory Lane, New Glasgow, PE, Canada

We drove around to a lot of small towns. Victoria by the Sea is cute but lots of bugs. Have to go to the potato museum. The Lighthouse is one of the most famous spots on the island – worth spending some time there. The boardwalk is probably more lively in the summer, just so-so.

Day 5
  • Green Gables Heritage Place, Cavendish Road, Cavendish, PE, Canada
  • Avonlea Village, Prince Edward Island 6, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • Cape Tryon Lighthouse, Cape Tryon Road, French River, PE, Canada
  • Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush, Park Corner Lane, Kensington, PE, Canada
  • Mariner's Cove Boardwalk, Cavendish Road, North Rustico, PE, Canada
  • North Rustico Beach, Beach Lane, North Rustico, PE, Canada
  • Blue Mussel Cafe, Harbourview Drive, North Rustico, PE, Canada
  • Stanley Bridge, Prince Edward Island, Canada

If you’re a fan of Anne of Green Gables, you have to visit the sites. North Rustico Beach was beautiful and the Blue Mussel Cafe is phenomenal – eat there.

Day 6
  • Hostetter's Viewscape, Prince Edward Island 20, Green Gables, PE, Canada
  • Thunder Cove Beach, Lot 18, PE, Canada
  • The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts Centre, Water Street East, Summerside, PE, Canada
  • Spinnakers Landing, Heather Moyse Drive, Summerside, PE, Canada
  • Lucy Maud Montgomery Birthplace, Prince Edward Island 20, New London, PE, Canada
  • Cavendish Beach: PEI National Park, Graham's Lane, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • Island Honey Wine Company, Millboro Road, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • Cavendish Lobster Shack, Cavendish Road, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • Prince Edward Island Preserve Company, New Glasgow Road, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
  • DogBoat Tours & Charters, Prince Edward Island 6, Stanley Bridge, PE, Canada

Hostetter’s Viewscape is a must-see. The beaches are some of the most unique I’ve ever seen, with red sand and cliffs. There are lots of unique shops and restaurants, and you have to have a lobster supper while you’re there (unlimited mussels).

Took the sunset tour by Dog Boat Tours – highly recommend. The waves were too high for us to go in the open water but the inlets were still great.

Day 7
  • North Rustico Beach, Beach Lane, North Rustico, PE, Canada
  • Greenwich National Park, Wild Rose Road, Saint Peters Bay, PE, Canada
  • Point Prim Chowder House and Oyster Bar, Point Prim Road, Belfast, PE, Canada
  • Point Prim Lighthouse, Point Prim Road, Belfast, PE, Canada
  • COWS Creamery, Milky Way, Charlottetown, PE, Canada

The National Park was a long but rewarding walk to the beach. Highly recommend the chowder house and a stop at the lighthouse. The best ice cream in the world is cows creamery. We walked around the museum and ate as much as possible.

Flew back the next morning.
