Western Pei

Introducing Western Pei

Malpeque and Bedeque Bays converge to almost separate the western third of PEI from the rest of the province. This region sits entirely within the larger Prince County, and it combines the sparse pastoral scenery of Kings County’s interior with some of Queens County’s rugged coastal beauty.

The cultural history here stands out more than elsewhere on the island. On Lennox Island a proud Mi’kmaq community is working to foster knowledge of its past, while French Acadians are doing the same in the south, along Egmont and Bedeque Bays.
