Prince Edward Island (or simply P.E.I.) is a Canadian province coextensive with the island of the same name. It is part of the Maritimes and is one of the Atlantic Provinces. It is the nation's smallest province in terms of land area, and has a population 138 307. People from Prince Edward Island are called Islanders and refer to people not from the island as being "from away."
It is located in a rectangle defined roughly by 46-47 degrees N, and 62-64 degrees 30' W. At 5 660 km2 in size, it is the 104th largest island in the world, and Canada's 23rd largest island.
The island's namesake is Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent (1767-1820), the father of Queen Victoria.
It is known for its beautiful red sand beaches all around the Island and is a popular destination for golf.
