Somewhat like a pioneer village, it features several old houses that have been converted to shoppes and restaurants. There are 8 place s to find food in Victoria so you are sure not to go hungry. There is also one hotel, one inn and one B&B.

Coach House Antiques is a house filled to the brim with all sorts of treasures. I always enjoy looking for unique finds.
Island Chocolates: need I say More?
Books
I have heard of a new bookstore called Kit Marlowe and Company – details to follow.
Red Sand Jewellery features one-of-a-kind items made by a local artisan. With so many mass produced items on the market, it is refreshing to see something unique.
Victoria’s Glass Studio features glass art, jewellery, crafts , and more. The website reference I found is www.natures-creation.ca but it seems to be broken. I hope this is not a sign that the shop is closed.
This is just a small sampling of what you may find. There are many other shops and attractions to visit including the Victoria Playhouse. Victoria by the sea is a small village. You can park the car and spend the day walking about, enjoying the scenery.
Victoria By The Sea is a place were you can experience Prince Edward Island without the distractions of amusement parks, large hotel complexes or vehicles hurrying by.
