SUMMERSIDE
Summerside is one of the most intriguing small cities in Canada; rich with history, bustling with energy and charm. As the Gateway to the North Cape Coastal Drive, Summerside welcomes you with warmth that few places can match.

The history of Summerside comes alive in dramatic fashion through large murals depicting significant city events in stunning detail on downtown buildings. A historic walking tour, through tree-lined streets past stately heritage homes will reveal much about the city, its architecture and its history. The Wyatt House, MacNaught History Centre & Archives and The Lefurgey Cultural Centre are cornerstone highlights of the tour. You can also experience more history by visiting the many fascinating museums throughout the Summerside area.

One of the few cities in Canada able to boast a beach right downtown, Summerside has a bustling waterfront filled with enticing spots for visitors; theatre, culture, shopping, marina, beach and an impressive boardwalk all located along the city’s shore.

Just a few of the "Must See" attractions include the Shipyard Market, Spinnaker’s Landing, Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre, Eptek Art & Cultural Centre and The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts of Canada. The College brings the sounds and soul of Scotland to life before your very eyes. Join us for an assortment of Ceilidhs and daily concerts that will take your breath away.

Add to this an 18-hole championship golf course, scenic Confederation Trail, kayaking, deep-sea fishing, non-stop festivals and events, fine dining, dinner theatre, charming accommodations and unique shops. You will soon discover why the North Cape Coastal Drive not only begins in Summerside, it brings you back.
