While Prince Edward Island is famous for its summer beaches and coastal adventures, many Islanders will tell you that fall is one of the most beautiful times to visit.
The air turns crisp, and the island transforms into a canvas of red, orange, and gold.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, here are some of the best things to do on PEI in the fall.
Take a scenic drive
One of the simplest and most rewarding ways to enjoy fall on PEI is from the road. Coastal routes and country lanes are lined with colorful trees, charming villages, and countless photo opportunities.
Explore Victoria Park
A few minutes' walk from Rodd Charlottetown, you will find that Victoria Park is beautiful year-round, but it holds a special charm during fall. Stroll along the waterfront, enjoy the cooler temperatures, and admire the changing colours!
Play a round of golf.
Fall is one of the best times to play golf on PEI. Pleasant temperatures, smaller crowds, and spectacular scenery explain why golfers love this time of year.
Courses such as Dundarave, Brudenell River, and Crowbush Cove are particularly stunning when the leaves begin to change colour.
Walk a Section of the Island Walk
Want to stretch your legs? The Island Walk offers a great opportunity to enjoy Prince Edward Island at a more leisurely pace. Fall temperatures make long walks even more enjoyable. Savour the island's fresh flavours.
Savour Fresh Island Flavours
From fresh oysters and lobster to seasonal dishes inspired by Island ingredients, fall is a wonderful time to explore PEI's culinary scene. Enjoy local flavours at Chambers Restaurant, Stillwaters at Rodd Brudenell, Wally's Restaurant at Rodd Royalty, or David's Restaurant at Crowbush, where beautiful golf course views complement every meal.
Visit Green Gables Heritage Place
Just 35 minutes from Rodd Royalty, Green Gables Heritage Place takes on a new charm in the fall, when colourful trees frame the property and create an inviting setting for an afternoon visit.
Capture sunrises and sunsets
Crisp air and spectacular fall skies often create some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets of the year. Whether you’re staying near the coast or exploring the interior, don’t forget your camera.
Relax and recharge
One of the best things about visiting PEI in the fall is the slower pace. Spend an afternoon reading by the river at Rodd Brudenell, enjoying a spa treatment at Rodd Crowbush, or simply relaxing and strolling in Downtown Charlottetown.
Plan a weekend getaway
If you've been looking for a reason to plan a getaway, fall might just be it! Whether you choose a riverside retreat at Rodd Brudenell River Resort, a round of golf at Rodd Crowbush, or a city break in Charlottetown, there’s no better time to enjoy the island.
The best part about fall on Prince Edward Island is that it feels like a well-kept secret. The scenery is beautiful, the pace is relaxed, and every experience feels a little more personal.
