(Charlottetown, PE – March 15, 2010) It’s the ultimate aphrodisiac.  Many say eat oysters live longer. While others say they are the food of love. One can’t live on oysters alone. Many Islanders would beg to disagree. Long recognized as one of the world's finest oysters, Malpeque Oysters from Prince Edward Island have an unequalled taste and superior quality. And if they make you feel just a tad more romantic that’s all the better.

Now, add a dose of clean salt air, the timeless mystique of an Island vacation, mussels, lobster and the best golf in Canada and you’ve found the formula for a perfect romantic getaway. Prince Edward Island continues to emerge as a popular couple’s destination. For those that share a passion for the game and other things, we invite you to discover Prince Edward Island for the first time or again together.

“More and more couples are enjoying golf,” says Barry MacLeod, COO of Golf PEI. “It adds to a healthy and active lifestyle and it’s a great chance to spend quality time together. It’s also a social activity and a way to meet other couples. Island vacations are memorable and when golf is added to the mix it just gets better. For those just picking up the game, the Canadian Golf Academy can help you get started,” adds MacLeod.

Prince Edward Island is also home to the International Couples Golf Festival sponsored by Nike. Now entering its second year, over 200 couples are expected to attend in 2010 from July 8-12. This Celtic golf experience offers 3 rounds on the Island’s top-rated courses, four nights of luxury accommodations, the finest culinary creations from land and sea, and several once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will make this holiday a true “Big Break” from reality.
