Several of the island's main roads, including Highways 1, 2, 3, and 4, connect Kings County with Charlottetown and the western flank of the island. So it's easy to get here; get out a map, plot a cool route, and point your car north and west. If you're coming from Nova Scotia, the Woods Island ferry docks up on the southern coast, though fewer and fewer travelers seem to take that route anymore.
