Our Story

Explore Summerside - The City by the Sea for an authentic Island getaway filled with culinary, cultural, and coastal experiences. Summerside will capture your imagination, awaken your soul and shape the stories you tell your friends when you go back home.

As the gateway to Prince Edward Island’s North Cape Coastal Drive, Summerside’s central location makes it easy to plan a visit. With surrounding amenities offering big-city services in a compact setting, Summerside is the ideal choice for your getaway.

The wharves of Historic Summerside reach out to meet the waters of Bedeque Bay on the south slope of a narrow land bridge that links our West with our East. We're bordered on the North by Malpeque Bay that spawned the world famous Malpeque oyster. Rich in history this 16,000-strong urban area is bordered by two of the great bay playgrounds of Prince Edward Island.
