Governors Island (Prince Edward Island)

Governors Island is a Canadian island located in Hillsborough Bay, a sub-basin of the Northumberland Strait along the south shore of Prince Edward Island.

The island is located at 46'08"N, 63'04"W, approximately convert|4|nmi|km|0 south from Keppoch and convert|4|nmi|km|0 north from Point Prim.

Roughly triangular in shape with an area measuring 80 acres (32.4 ha), the western point of Governors Island was used in the past for a lobster processing facility and the remainder of the land was used as an area to graze sheep and cattle. Privately owned, the island had a small airstrip developed during the 1960s but has since fallen into disuse.
