Beaches
Beach Point Beach is the closest quality beach to Country Charm. Just 7-8 minutes away, Beach Point Beach is a terrific beach especially at low tide when many sandbars are exposed.

Panmure Island - 20-25 minutes
This is a gorgeous beach and I would say that it is certainly in the top 8 beaches on the Island. It is a provincial park and is a supervised beach. Panmure is very picturesque. Its long white sand beach is outlined by large sand dunes. Panmure Island Lighthouse stands at the north end of the beach.

The number one beach on the Island in our opinion is Basin Head Signing Sands. Just 50 minutes from Country Charm B&B. Lots of stops on the 50 minute trip to experience other beaches and scenic vistas. The sand will sing to you when you walk on this beach. Don't believe us? Well then, this beach is a must.

A few other beaches close to us that deserve merit are Northumberland Provincial Park Beach, Panting Beach, and Poverty Beach. There are a half dozen other beaches you will not find on any map. We keep some of these a secret for our guests. You will most likely find yourself alone on these beaches to discover beach glass and many other treasures the beach has to offer.

Greenwich National Park Beach is a must! The beach at the end of the Dunes Trail, about a 4 km hike, is breathtaking! A kilometer long floating boardwalk brings you face to face with rare 70 foot high parabolic sand dunes. Just over the dunes is a beach that disappears into the sunset. Eastern PEI boasts over 30 beaches including some of the top beaches on PEI.

Golf
PEI is well known for its superb golf courses. Eastern PEI has 10 courses with a range to challenge any golfer including the legends of golf like Mike Wier, VJ Sign, Tom Watson and Jack Nickelson. The legends of golf event has taken place the last two years at Brudenell Golf Coarse and Crowbush Cove, two highly rated courses in PEI. Crowbush is rated in the top 10 and Brudenell in the top 40 in North America. Dunderave also falls into the top 100.

Eagles View is a challenging 9 hole course not to be underestimated. Just 7 minutes away. Brudenell and Dunderave courses are intertwined along the Brudenell River. One has white sand traps while the other has red sand traps. Crowbush Cove is the cream of the crop and under an hour away. Six other courses dot the landscape between 30 minute to 45 minutes from Country Charm.

Lighthouses
Eastern PEI has many lighthouses keeping watch on the shores of our Island. A number of these lighthouses and range lights are not accessible but most have a vantage point where a photograph can be taken. Please respect private property when approaching some of these lighthouses. There are 5 lighthouses that are open to the public.

Cape Bear Lighthouse
The first Canadian lighthouse to receive and pass on the distress signal from the sinking Titanic. Just 12 minutes away
Wood Islands Lighthouse. Watches over the Wood Islands Ferry Terminal.

Point Prim Lighthouse. PEI's oldest lighthouse.. Panmure Island Lighthouse. PEI's oldest wooden lighthouse. East Point Lighthouse. Where three tides collide.

Outdoor Adventure
Bird Watching
There are many great bird watching locations to observe the very diverse species of birds on PEI. Our 20 acre property is great for bird watching. We can also direct you to many active sites in Eastern PEI.

Seal Tours
Marine Adventures in Murray River, 5 minutes away, hosts 2 hour seal tours 3 times a day during peak season. You are guaranteed that you will see seals on this tour.

Air Tours
Hop a board a pontooned airplane and get a birds eye view of the beautiful PEI coastline. Available at Tartan Air in Murray River.

Kayaking
kayaking is available for those who wish to explore the shoreline from the water. Available at Brudenell Park.

Geocaching
If you are unsure of just what geocaching is, the best way to describe it is "high tech treasure hunting" that has caught the world by storm. If you have never experienced geocaching we would be happy to introduce you to this exciting pastime. We have handheld GPS units and provide hidden cache details and a little training session on how to have some fun and see some unique sites in PEI.

Ceilidhs (kay-lee)
This is one of the "must" experiences when you visit PEI. Sometimes called a kitchen party, Ceilidhs bring together locals to play music, sing, dance and entertain you. You will have as much fun as they do.

Scenic Touring
Four words "Points East Coastal Drive". Points East Coastal Drive is a scenic tour route that follows the coast in eastern PEI. It is over 400 km in length and has over 90 points of interest marked along the route. when staying at Country Charm B&B we will give you a Points East Coastal Drive touring map and Rally guide that helps you discover the most scenic coastline on PEI.
