Introducing Summerside
Recessed deep within Bedeque Bay is PEI’s second-largest city. A city in name only, this tiny seaside village possesses a lovely waterfront and quiet streets lined with leafy trees and grand old homes. The two largest economic booms in the province’s history, based around shipbuilding and fox breeding, shaped the city’s development in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Unfortunately, like Charlottetown, its outskirts are plagued by unsightly development. You’ll find most of Summerside’s interesting bits along, or close to, Water St, which runs parallel to the waterfront.
