True Blood's Stephen Moyer, Regis and Kelly film at PEI.

When Regis and Kelly give their seal of approval to a destination, it becomes a hot spot. Who knew that crotchety old Reege would be an arbiter of cool? Prince Edward Island is reaping the rewards from the daytime pair's endorsement, as tourism has shot up since the two shot some shows there.

Live! with Regis and Kelly visited Charlottetown in July and filmed four episodes there. The government says that the Canadian island's starring role in the duo's talk show garnered it $22.6 million in tourism since the summer.

Honky Tonk Surf Town: North Rustico, PEI

July 16, 2008 at 2:00 PM | by | Comments (0)

If Anne of Green Gables had lived 50 years later, she might have tied up her braids and hitched a ride to this northern coastal fishing town nicknamed "The Crick." Once a refuge during the Seven Years' War, the town now thrives primarily on lobster fishing and a smattering of summer beach traffic.

The best surf up here starts in August. If the waves are inconsistent during your stay, consider a sea kayaking tour or walk up to the famous lighthouse.
