Visit Summerside Harbour to find some of the town’s most popular and interesting tourist attractions. This bustling harbor, which sits on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, is both a working port and a gathering place for the community. Spend a day here perusing the handicraft shops and dining on fresh seafood. Enjoy live entertainment, coastal walks and panoramic sea views.

At the heart of the harbor is Spinnakers Landing, a spirited marketplace with indoor and open-air attractions. Purchase antiques, artisanal jewelry, Celtic crafts and souvenirs at the collection of shops. Fill up on crepes, freshly baked bread, ice cream and plates of succulent seafood at the cafés, food trucks and restaurants. Bagpipe players, dance troupes and street performers offer free entertainment.

Stroll up and down the 4.3-mile-long (7-kilometer) waterfront boardwalk. Gaze across the deep-blue water to spot the forest-clad Holman Island and the 19th-century Indian Head Lighthouse. Join a guided Segway tour for a fun way to explore the boardwalk. Alternatively, cruise along Summerside’s shore via rented kayak.

Be sure to visit the Eptek Art and Culture Centre. Its exhibitions, ranging from basket weaving to metalwork, highlight cultural aspects of Prince Edward Island. At the adjacent Harbourfront Theatre, attend musicals, screenings of classic Hollywood movies and performances by well-known Canadian musicians.

Visit the harbor in July when it hosts events during the Summerside Lobster Festival. Get culinary inspiration at cooking demonstrations, feast on lobster dinners and sample craft beers. Join a boat tour and learn about the town’s traditions of fishing for lobsters and oysters.

Attractions at Summerside Harbour are open daily. The harbor is just a short walk from Summerside’s city center. Use the large free parking lot running parallel to the harbor. Other attractions in Summerside include the International Fox Museum and Hall of Fame and Wyatt Historic House Museum. Shop for more culinary delights and handicrafts at the weekend Summerside Farmers Market.
