Hi, what other cities or towns one should stay at besides Charlottetown? We'll be on PEI island for 3 days and 2 of those days we'll spend in Charlottetown. We were wondering what other town we should stay at for the 3rd night. Thank you.

Hello,

There are many great places to stay that can be found across Prince Edward Island! You can find them in cities and in the many small towns and villages across the Island or even in the rural areas close to beaches or surrounded by farmland.

North Rustico is a beautiful area and well worth considering and right next door would be Cavendish.

The Towns of Montague, Souris and Georgetown are bustling communities with shopping, dining, history, and experiential fun.
Summerside is PEI 2nd largest city.
Victoria by the Sea, located on the south shore and pretty much right in the center of the Island, is a quaint village with old school charm. You can take a leisurely stroll along the pier and weave your way around the tiny village’s small streets. You’ll stumble upon antique stores, art galleries, wonderful cafes, and a historic theatre. There are only a few places to stay right in the village itself, but you could rent a cottage close by.

Renting a cottage along the south shore gives you the option of glorious beach walks in the early morning or in the evenings to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets.

We have a wonderful service on Prince Edward Island to assist with selecting accommodations. The following is a link to the provincial tourism website accommodation search options https://www.tourismpei.com/pei-accommodations  The Island is broken down into the following touring regions; North Cape Coastal Drive is located in the western area, Green Gables Shore touring region is located in the central north area, Red Shore touring region is located in the central south area, Charlottetown is the capital city and Points East is located in the eastern area. 

I hope this is of some help and that you enjoy your time on PEI.
