Canada's Garden of the Gulf is surrounded by sea is located between the Northumberland Strait to the South and West and the Gulf of
St. Lawrence to the North and East. The Island is 224 kilometres (140 miles) long and from 6-64 kilometres (4-40 miles) wide and no point in the province is more than 16 kilometres (10 miles) from the sea. PEI is formed from sedimentary bed rock of soft, red sandstone with a high iron-oxide content that produces a rich, red soil. PEI is famous for its potatoes which benefit from the "rusty soil."
There are three counties - Prince, Queens and Kings - and approximately 56% of the population is rural. The major industries in the province are agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and fishing.
