2 days in PEI
My husband and I have only two days in PEI. Is it better to place ourselves in Charlottetown or Summerside or a different town to drive around and explore?

Hi elyse,
I can't speak to Summerside but I'd definitely recommend Charlottetown as a base. Charming, walkable, with some good restaurants and handsome homes & buildings, nice place to unwind after driving to nearby interesting parts of PEI. Best wishes, Daniel |
Thank you, Daniel.

I hate to give the standard tourist answer but I would stay on the north shore - either North Rustico or Cavendish. Such a beautiful area, even with all the tourists.
In the end it probably doesn't matter. It is only a 35 minute drive drive from Charlottetown to those two areas. |
Yeah, PEI is quite small when considering tourist travel from even the far end to the far end.
It is so off-the-beaten-path that even Charlottetown seems 'small' in lots of ways. I certainly wouldn't opt for Summerside, no matter what... as with <I>"two days"</i>, you owe yourselves <I>Charlottetown</i> at the very least. I would think that a person could take at least a couple of day trips <I>away</i> from Charlottetown during two days there, and <b>still have time for <u>Charlottetown</u> proper. And I say this having once been to Summerside, very briefly. I dunno whether it was me who was <I>very brief</i>... OR <i>Summerside</i> which was very brief. (probably putting-off the $40 toll on the bridge a little longer, that's what I was doing??) |
