We might have missed the little gem Victoria-by-the-Sea in Prince Edward Island had it not been for the Chocolate Festival. I planned our entire trip around that festival and I am so glad I did! Victoria-by-the-Sea is absolutely adorable, if not enchanted. It truly is right by the water and even has its own lighthouse.
We were going to the chocolate dinner and ended up in the town really early so we took some photographs: me by the water with an old broken dock behind me.
When we saw the map of the town, we realized that this place is just as small as we thought it was: four blocks. Yet! The town has so much to offer: cafe, chocolate shop, restaurants, B&Bs, glass studio, antiques shop and even a playhouse. Despite there being a lot to do, everything was pretty much closed by the time we got there so we went for a drive:
We continued our journey to see a little bit more of PEI before dinner and I am so glad we did. Look at that wild and weird sky!
By the time we returned the sun was really starting to get low, the sky filled up with clouds but wow, what a view!
Eventually we turned around and ended up at Victoria Village Inn & Restaurant and I can vouch for the food! In fact to read about the restaurant and our chocolate dinner, make sure to come visit my foodie page.
I loved this area of PEI. I think this little treasure of a spot was the highlight of my trip. I love older houses with tons of charm and Victoria-by-the-Sea seems to be designed around my daydreams of the kind of place I have always wanted to live. In some ways it felt like I had stepped into a miniature set for Practical Magic. The perfect place for our anniversary.
