Summerside, Coastal city in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Summerside is the second largest city on Prince Edward Island and sits along the Northumberland Strait coastline. It features waterfront paths, parks, and recreational facilities that serve both residents and visitors.
The city takes its name from the Summer Side House inn and became a town in 1877. It grew significantly in 1995 when it merged with surrounding areas.
The International Fox Museum shows how the city became a global center for silver fox farming and shaped the lives of people working in that trade. Visitors can see how this industry influenced the community for generations.
The Visitor Information Centre at Harbourfront Theatre offers maps and information about accommodations and local activities. Stopping here early in your visit helps you plan your time effectively.
The city operates Prince Edward Island's only municipally-owned electric utility, which includes wind farms. These wind farms generate a substantial portion of the city's local power supply.
