The Orwell Corner Historic Village offers visitors a trip to the 1800's in which they can visit the village store and house, farm, church, school and community hall. Nearby, the Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead displays heritage living and a Natural History Centre teaches about PEI nature. The natural features of the rest of the Points East Coastal Drive are also appealing, with their red cliffs, white sands, ocean, and forests.
