For a nice view of Confederation Bridge on the Prince Edward Island end, drive towards the bridge and make a left turn at the last traffic light before the toll plaza. Continue down this street (Borden Avenue) until you reach the lighthouse.
For any lobster lovers, there is a small store on the south side of the Trans-Canada Hwy that sells frozen & canned lobsters along with maritime related souvenirs.
I didn't get a chance to see it on this trip, but there is a piece of the bridge girder on display somewhere in this town.
