East Point There’s something special about seabirds and you’re almost guaranteed a glimpse if you visit East Point, on the easternmost tip of Prince Edward Island. While you’re likely to spot Razorbills, Long-Tailed Ducks, Black Scoters and Common Eiders, 188 different species have been observed at East Point, so you might just be in for a more rare sighting. The spot is also home to a large Great Cormorant colony, so if you want to watch these birds thrive (after previously being hunted almost to extinction) this is the place to do it.
In the unlikely event that you don’t spot any birds at East Point, you can always marvel at the site’s historic lighthouse. The East Point Lighthouse, constructed in 1867, sits above red sandstone cliffs overlooking the sea, which might just be as majestic as a rare American White Pelican spotting.
