PEI depends on the sea and the land for its economy, its primary industries being farming, fishing and tourism. The concepts of stewardship and sustainability are regarded very seriously by the community, for the sake of all three of these interdependent industries. Protecting and enhancing the resource lands allows crops to thrive and shellfish to flourish, while visitors and residents alike enjoy the beautiful side effects of a healthy environment.

If activity is what you want, PEI boasts a variety of sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, beach-combing and kayaking, as well as abundant spaces for cycling. As far as organized sports, soccer and hockey are popular on the island. The senior men's soccer league features 3 divisions and more than 20 teams from all over the island. For other tastes, PEI offers deep sea fishing, fine dining, shopping and some the best golf courses in Canada .

Family activities, festivals, theatre and the arts are all a part of island life. Fun for the whole family can be found at PEI 's amusement parks, lighthouses, museums, provincial parks and of course, Green Gables.
