Making the Most of Your Downtime on PEI

When your mandatory reset hours arrive, make the most of your downtime by exploring these accessible island destinations. Whether you're one of our valued clients looking to explore PEI or a team member seeking recommendations for your time off, here's our insider guide to the must-visit spots on the Island.

Charlottetown: Our Historic Hub

As a transportation and logistics company headquartered in PEI, we know Charlottetown like the back of our hand. The provincial capital offers historic charm with its preserved 19th-century architecture and walkable downtown. Visit Province House National Historic Site or stroll along Victoria Row's red-brick buildings housing exceptional restaurants and shops. Some drivers frequently recommend the Charlottetown Farmers' Market for its showcase of the very local products we transport daily.

Cavendish and the North Shore

Our fleet regularly travels the routes to Cavendish, delivering supplies to the tourism hotspots along the north shore. Take advantage of the spectacular beaches with its famous red sand and sandstone cliffs. The Green Gables Heritage Place offers a glimpse into the setting that inspired "Anne of Green Gables," one of PEI's most famous exports that we're proud to support through our logistics services.

PEI National Park

Spanning the north shore, PEI National Park features some of the most pristine landscapes on the island. The Greenwich section, accessible via roads offers unique dune systems and boardwalk trails. Some team members often spend weekends exploring these natural treasures after busy weeks coordinating shipments across the region.

Basin Head Provincial Park

On the eastern end of the island, where Bulk Carriers maintains several important shipping routes, you'll find Basin Head Provincial Park with its famous "Singing Sands Beach." The white sand creates a unique squeaking sound when walked upon.

Points East Coastal Drive

This scenic route encompasses many of the communities we serve daily. Explore charming fishing villages where our trucks collect the fresh seafood that's shipped across Canada. Visit East Point Lighthouse where the Gulf of St. Lawrence meets the Northumberland Strait. 

Local Flavor

As PEI's leading transportation company, we take special pride in the island's culinary scene since we help bring these ingredients to market. You can try out the world-famous Malpeque oysters, fresh lobster, or attend a traditional lobster supper at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers or Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant.

As we connect communities through our transportation network, we witness daily the natural beauty and warm hospitality that make this island special. Whether you're following our delivery routes or charting your path, remember, no one knows these roads better than you do. Take pride in the beautiful island you help keep moving every day, and enjoy these spots during your well-earned breaks.
