This is the place to be between 9-2 on Saturday (and add Wednesday in there during the summer). It is busy, but worth it. Local artisans. great food. Fresh bread. Chocolate scones. A German Bakery - Angelika's (OMG), sausages, to eat or buy, organic produce, flowers, coffee (see Brett), tea - it has it all! Even music outside most good weather days.

Parks & Nature
This is my heaven on PEI - which is already pretty heavenly. The Confederation Trail from Morell to Saint Peters is beautiful if you are cycling. There are forest trails, a floating boardwalk, awesome beach, and the wind is usually blowing and you feel like you are transported to another time. But there are composting toilets. ;) If you can get out of town, this is a not to be missed awesome place.

A great place to walk after dinner. A nice boardwalk next to the harbour, herons fishing, and hardly anyone there! If it were Europe there would be 1000s of people. You might run into 30 - 50 peeps. I love Vic Park in the night. Magical. In the day there is Tennis, a pottery place, a snack bar open fairly late with ice cream, a play park for kids, a skate park, a pool, running through the water thingys. And a woods to walk through. And Deadman's Pond! Love!

What a great piece of architecture. Tiny museum. Well worth a trip. Events in the carriage house. Kids stuff. Next to Victoria Park. I went there often when the children were small.
