The home of Anne of Green Gables, stunning beaches, green pastoral landscapes, and a charming island way of life, Prince Edward Island is a lovely place for a pet friendly getaway. If exploring a provincial park in the morning, kayaking the warm ocean water in the afternoon, and enjoying fabulous seafood dining in the evening sounds like fun, this is a destination you won't want to miss.
Best Time To Visit
Summer is Prince Edward Island’s driest, warmest, and busiest tourist season, with hotel rates reaching their peak in July and August. Those looking for a more peaceful experience should plan their pet friendly trip during the shoulder seasons of June and September. Spring marks the beginning of PEI’s farm planting and lobster fishing seasons with many attractions reopening in May and June. Fall colors and white beaches are the main attraction in September and October. In winter, the island grinds to a virtual halt as the province’s three dominant industries–farming, fishing, and tourism–all hibernate for the off-season.
