TYNE VALLEY & LENNOX ISLAND
The North Cape Coastal Drive is home to the largest Native Community in Prince Edward Island. Discover the history and culture of the Mi’kmaq as you visit Lennox Island, one of PEI’s premiere ecotourism destinations.

Surrounded by the tranquil waters of Malpeque Bay, Lennox Island offers walking trails, sea kayaking, deep sea fishing, shopping at authentic Native craft shops as well as Prince Edward Island’s only aboriginal history museum.

Experience traditional Mi’kmaq cuisine at the café and take home a tasty souvenir of "lusgnign" (Indian bannock) from the bakery. Delight in the sites and sounds of a Native Pow Wow, enjoy the excitement of our annual gathering, St. Ann’s Sunday and join us for our Aboriginal Food festival.

As you make your way to the charming village of Tyne Valley be sure to visit the Bideford Parsonage Museum, the site where Lucy Maude Montgomery lived and taught school in 1894-95. Just a stones throw away at the Prince Edward Island Shellfish Museum you can discover the fascinating story of one of the Island’s most important industries.

As you drive along, you will see our rich heritage reflected in the architecture of our homes and churches, which were crafted by the skilled shipbuilders who settled in this area in the early 1800s. A visit to the Green Park Shipbuilding Museum will provide a more in-depth look at PEI’s shipbuilding history. A tour of the immaculately restored Yeo House reveals a wonderful vision of the lifestyle of the ‘ship barons’ of the by-gone era.

Great atmosphere, charming accommodations and Island hospitality await you in the "West Country". Join us for our many festivals and events including the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival, Blueberry Social and weekend entertainment at the Landing Oyster House & Pub in the heart of Tyne Valley.
