People have been reaching out to share their thoughts on CBC Prince Edward Island's Facebook page and on Twitter.

Here's a little of what they had to say.

"That's why our province is referred to as The Garden of the Gulf! So many crown jewels on P.E.I. I wouldn't want to narrow it down to one particular place."
