New Roads Bucket List Drives
What makes a great driving road? For some it’s the scenery on the horizon, for others it’s the greatest number of twists and turns along the segment of pavement. Or why not both? The Great White North certainly has no shortage of such examples —we’ve highlighted a handful of cross-country favourites below, as well as a few international routes thrown in that should be on the top of any auto and travel enthusiasts’ bucket list.
Prince Edward Island • North Cape Coastal Drive Arguably one of the best ways to see P.E.I. is navigating the winding 350-kilometre North Cape Coastal Drive. A good departure point is Summerside, the second largest city in the province about an hour outside of the capital Charlottetown, from there heading towards Malpeque Bay and up the western part of the island to North Cape and then back down and around.
Several points of interest exist in the area, among them the Canadian Potato Museum showcasing the largest potato sculpture in the world; the house/tavern/chapel made of out of 25,000 recycled bottles in Cap-Egmont; and the West Point Lighthouse housing a museum and a four- star 13-room inn that makes a perfect place to break halfway.
