Welcome to Murray Harbour.
Located in the southeastern corner of Prince Edward Island, Murray Harbour is a unique little place that offers the best of Island scenery, culture, and hospitality.
Steeped in a rich maritime history, our fishing village offers genuine small-town charm and a pace of life that allows us to enjoy everything our community has to offer. We put a high value on rural living and work hard to preserve our traditions and way of life.
But don’t be fooled by our quiet ways—Murray Harbour is a hive of activity! Whether you live here year-round, come ‘home’ for the summer, or are just visiting the area, this special place has something for everyone.
