Highlyn View Cottage is located on the Points East Coastal Drive where you will find things to do, places to see and to eat.

Our cottages and guest house are only minutes away from the very popular Eagles View 9-hole golf course, a very challenging course.

Take a nice walk to the harbour and craft shops that Murray River offers or try some island cuisine and top it off with a great ice cream cone. The islands Confederation Trail is close by where you can take a walk or bike ride through the country side. Beaches are only minutes away if you are a swimmer or just like to relax and listen to the wonderful relaxing sound of the water or gaze out and watch the fishing boats and sail boats traveling along our island water ways.

If you are interested in seeing the island from the air then you're in luck "Tartan Air" is located at the harbour as is the seal cruise where they guarantee you'll see seals. Not just an odd one but a lot of adult and baby's depending on the time of year.

If you are lucky enough to stay in PEI during the lobster season then drop down to the wharf and talk to the local fishermen who will supply you with some fresh lobsters that you can take back to the cottages and cook for a delightful island treat.

If Lighthouses are your interest then you have 4 in the area that you can visit and learn about the guards who watch over our fishermen. At the Wood Islands Lighthouse you can learn all about the "Rum Running" of the island; Cape Bear is where the first Canadian distress signal came in from the "Titanic"; Panmure Island is located on the cliffs of one of our favorite beaches; Point Prim is the only round lighthouse on the island and only steps away is a great little restaurant which boosts island cuisine from the shores.
