North Cape Coastal Drive

The Canadian Oyster Coast -
North Cape Coastal Drive, Western PEI Acadian culture is celebrated in Région Évangéline, Mi'kmaq tradition on Lennox Island.
(22)

ed through song, dance, stories, and traditional practices. Celtic roots are nourished at one of the many Kitchen Parties, Ceilidhs, or small halls dotting the region’s landscape. Culinary delights from land and sea will be sure to pleasure anyone’s palate. Fresh seafood is common throughout the region, with mussels, clams, crab, lobster, and oysters on offer at many local kitchens. In fact, it is the popularity of the Malpeque Oyster, and the importance of the industry to the area, that earned us the title “Canadian Oyster Coast”. Island produce is also available at roadside stands or farmers’ markets ensuring delicious flavours are always available. Whether it’s digging for clams or making potato fudge, weaving with wood or relaxing by the sea, adventure awaits in this exciting region.

Happy Friday, everyone! We hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with adventure and relaxation. 🌊

Did you know that Prince Edward Island is famous for its delicious oysters? Here are a few fun facts to ponder while you enjoy your time off:

1. Oyster Varieties: PEI is home to several varieties of oysters, including Malpeque, Colville Bay, and Raspberry Point. Each type has its own unique flavor profile, influenced by the island's pristine waters.

2. Perfect Conditions: The cold, clean waters of PEI create ideal conditions for oyster farming, resulting in plump, flavorful oysters that are enjoyed around the world.

3. Sustainable Farming: Oyster farming on PEI is a sustainable practice. Oysters help clean the water by filtering out algae and other particles, contributing to the health of the marine ecosystem.

4. Culinary Delight: PEI oysters are a culinary delight, often enjoyed raw on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon, a dash of hot sauce, or a splash of mignonette.

Enjoy the weekend and perhaps treat yourself to some fresh, local oysters! 🌿🦪

Explore the Coast

The North Cape Coastal Drive is home to some of the most Genuine Coastal Experiences on Prince Edward Island. The villages of the North Cape Region burst with pride as they celebrate their culture, heritage, and way of life. Festivals highlighting the importance of lobsters, oysters, potatoes, handicrafts, and Irish moss take place in a jubilant atmosphere. The cultures of Western PEI are celebrated through song, dance, stories, and traditional practices. Acadian culture is celebrated in Région Évangéline, Mi'kmaq tradition on Lennox Island. Celtic roots are nourished at one of the many Kitchen Parties, Ceilidhs, or small halls dotting the region’s landscape. Culinary delights from land and sea will be sure to pleasure anyone’s palate. Fresh seafood is common throughout the region, with mussels, clams, crab, lobster, and oysters on offer at many local kitchens. In fact, it is the popularity of the Malpeque Oyster, and the importance of the industry to the area, that earned us the title “Canadian Oyster Coast”. Island produce is also available at roadside stands or farmers’ markets ensuring delicious flavours are always available. Whether it’s digging for clams or making potato fudge, weaving with wood or relaxing by the sea, adventure awaits in this exciting region.
