Dating on Prince Edward Island.
Canada's smallest province, red sand beaches and a lot of mutual friends.
Prince Edward Island is small enough to drive across in a few hours, so most singles know someone who knows you. Charlottetown is the capital and the centre of social life, with UPEI and Holland College students and a growing number of newcomers. Summerside and the rural communities are quieter, and summer changes everything when visitors fill the beaches and festivals.
