Summerside
While it lacks the elegance and cosmopolitan vibe of Charlottetown, Summerside is a
simpler, seaside-oriented place with everything you need in one small, tidy package. Re-
cessed deep within Bedeque Bay and PEI's second-largest 'city,' this tiny seaside village
possesses a modern waterfront and quiet streets lined with leafy trees and grand old
homes. The two largest economic booms in the province's history, shipbuilding and fox
breeding, shaped the city's development in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Like Char-
lottetown, its outskirts are plagued by unsightly development - you'll find most of Sum-
merside's interesting bits along, or near to, Water St, which runs parallel to the water-
front.
