Free booking, free cancelation.   Don't lose your place.

Prince Edward Island’s westernmost tip is home to traditional fishing villages, nestled alongside innovative wind farms.

On this circular driving tour through Tignish and North Cape’s spectacular natural scenery, you’ll learn about the area’s unique blend of history, nature, and maritime charm.

The tour starts and ends at the magnificent St. Simon and St. Jude Church in Tignish. You’ll wind your way through coastal roads to reach the dramatic cliffs of North Cape before making your way to Skinners Pond Beach. Along the way, I’ll share stories about the mysterious Phantom Ship that locals claim still appears on foggy nights, and tell you how Irish moss harvesting shaped the local economy.

You’ll discover how this remote corner of Prince Edward Island has adapted over the years, from the days of the island’s car ban to becoming a leader in renewable energy research.

This driving tour covers approximately 54 kilometers of Prince Edward Island’s most dramatic coastline.
