About Eastward

An independent guide to the east end of the Island

Eastward helps visitors find the coastal landscapes, fishing communities, and small towns of Eastern Prince Edward Island — the part of the province past Charlottetown and Cavendish.

This is a private portfolio project. It is a personal sample of editorial design and trip-planning UX, not an official tourism site and not a commercial product.

A directory, not a magazine

The site is built for exploration and trip planning. Places, communities, interests, and routes point at each other so you can move from a lighthouse to the harbour next door without starting over.

Eastward is not affiliated with Tourism PEI, a tourism association, or any business. No listing is paid for. There are no invented reviews, awards, or partnerships. Hours, fees, and ferry sailings still need checking with the operator before you go.

A wharf or a beach appears here because it is a real public place in the region, not because someone bought the spot.

Travel lightly

The dunes at Greenwich and the cliffs at Basin Head are fragile. Stay on marked paths, pack out what you bring, and give working harbours room to work.

Check before you rely on it

Ferry sailings, park fees, museum hours, and kitchen seasons change. The guide describes places. It does not know if they are open this Tuesday.

Privacy notes

Eastward is a private portfolio project. It does not run an account system, analytics SDK, or newsletter signup. The demonstration inquiry form does not send email and does not store what you type.

Place and destination pages can embed a Google Maps iframe when a Maps Embed API key is configured. That embed is a third-party request to Google. Find, directions, and more-info links also open Google in a new tab. Your host may still see ordinary web-server request logs.

A note, if you want to leave one

There is no Eastward office on Main Street and no public phone number. The form is here so the planning pages have a real interaction. It does not send email or keep a copy of what you typed.

Demonstration only. Submitting shows a confirmation on this page. Nothing is emailed or stored.

Eastward does not have a public inbox. See privacy notes for what this page does and does not collect.
