Cardigan: Pooles Corner

Cardigan sits on the Cardigan River in eastern Prince Edward Island, where tidal waters lead into Cardigan Bay and toward the Northumberland Strait. This Kings County community is set among the island’s low farmland, wooded shorelines and red-sandstone coast. Its waterside setting reflects Prince Edward Island’s enduring connection with the sea, while Cardigan Lobster Suppers has made local seafood part of the community’s identity since 1940. Coastal roads around Cardigan link small settlements, coves and working harbours across the island’s eastern side.
