Explore PEI
PEI is the perfect size for exploring - not too small and not too big. From your centrally-located home base at Dawson House, it’s easy-peasy to take a full- or half-day trip to each of the Island’s four distinct regions: Points East, Central Coastal, North Cape (‘Up West’), and our capital city, Charlottetown.
Keep reading for more insights about each region and our ‘must-visit’ recommendations.
From your quiet location at Dawson House, it’s a short, enchanting walk to Charlottetown’s vibrant downtown and waterfront.
Just grab your camera, step out of your room, and get ready to be wooed by everything our charming capital has to offer!
The heart of PEI, Central Coastal stretches west from Charlottetown to Summerside and includes the north and south shores. Here you’ll find endless adventures, beaches, fishing villages, golfing, and more.
Best of all, everything is within an hour’s drive from your home base at Dawson House!
Head ‘up west’ to the North Cape Region, and you’ll discover all sorts of unusual treasures! And make sure you take time to explore Summerside, PEI’s city by the sea.
