So yes, my trip to Prince Edward Island was in large part a quest for Anne of Green Gables IRL.

The 1985 mini-series and its sequel are the only film adaptations that matter (fight me on it!), but turns out, not a ton was actually filmed on P.E.I. The island’s scenery is all knock-out level and is obviously on point for AoGG vibes, but as a die-hard fan, I had to hunt down the filming locations that do exist to see them for myself.

👉 First off, you gotta visit the Green Gables Heritage Place, which is the house that inspired the place to begin with. It’s a museum and lovely and my kids wanted to move in (“but with our TVs and lights”, said my eldest).

📍 Thunder Cove Beach | Found at the end of a narrow dirt road (one of the island’s zillion), past a dilapidated old lighthouse, with some beautiful dunes, cliffs, and rock formations.

📍 Cavendish Cliffs | Has a beautiful lookout near the actually-named Lake of Shining Waters. Nearby Cavendish Beach is great for a day visit (with parking and amenities).

📍 New London Lighthouse | A lovely one tucked in the dunes. This video legit makes my MIL cry every time she sees it.

📍 Dalvay by the Sea | aka the White Sands Hotel, and I highly recommend getting slightly fancy for dinner on a night with live music. Gorgeous cozy interior with loads of history and even a fireplace burning in June.

P.E.I. photo dump 🦞

This has been a dream vacation destination for me as long as I can remember.

It’s rural and overwhelmingly agricultural. Communities are small and scattered. The roads leave your car covered in red dirt. But you can crest a hill and see 180° of ocean, eat fresh seafood for every meal, and receive a warm welcome from every person you encounter.

I’ll admit, P.E.I. was a bit different than I expected, but it definitely did not disappoint. 💛
