Notable for its quaint size as capital of the tiny Prince Edward Island (territory), it is famous as the birthplace of Canadian confederation. The atmosphere is delightfully colonial with its tree-lined Victorian streets, and the oldest part of town is clustered around the waterfront area, with the usual renovated buildings and recreation dollar-chasing facilities. Prince Edward Island's main claim to fame, however, is the town of Cavendish, the setting for Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, followed by the island's tradition of whopping big lobster suppers.
