Prince Edward Island (PEI) is a province of Canada located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is the smallest province in terms of land area and population, known for its red sand beaches, rolling countryside, and rich agricultural land. The island is famous for its potato farming and seafood, particularly lobster. The capital city of PEI is Charlottetown, which is often referred to as the "Birthplace of Canada" due to its role in the Confederation discussions in 1864. PEI is also home to Green Gables, the inspiration for the beloved children's book series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The island's natural beauty and cultural heritage attract many visitors each year.
