Visit the local historical museum to dive deep into the area's rich Acadian and Loyalist roots.

Bedeque is a pleasant rural community in Prince County on Prince Edward Island. The region is the heart of the island's famous red soil and features a scenic mix of well-kept farmland and gentle coastal stretches. Historically, the location is closely linked to the history of the Acadians and early settlers, reflected in well-preserved buildings such as the Bedeque Area Museum. The coastline is lined with quiet beaches like Staverts Shore and Woodside Shore. These stretches of shoreline are typical of the Northumberland Strait: they offer shallow, warm water and characteristic reddish sandbars that reveal vast areas at low tide. Staverts Shore is a wonderful place for quiet walks, shell hunting, or simply enjoying the view of the opposite New Brunswick coast. Gastronomically, Bedeque is known for its world-class agricultural products, especially the famous PEI potatoes. In the surrounding area, you will find small farm shops offering fresh local goods. Access is straightforward, as Bedeque is just a short drive from the Confederation Bridge. It is a good spot for travelers seeking the authentic, slow-paced life of Prince Edward Island.
