Belle endroit près de la mer.

We stopped here on our drive through Summerside from Cavendish. We had a snack on one of the park benches. Overcast skies but still a nice view.

The Missus and I, the boys and two family renegades walked the Baywalk Boardwalk around a bay of Summerside. It was a very easy stroll and to enjoy the fresh air. There were chairs to sit and rest along with toilet facilities. At the time of our visit, the majority of the businesses were closed at the east end. There was a lighthouse along the route for picture taking. Other than that, the boardwalk was nice but we would not say one should make a special trip to Summerside for it.

A very nice easy 6.6km (4 miles) walk along the bay in Summerside starting from the harbor. Well maintained and clean with separate paths for walkers and bicyclists. There are picnic tables and lookouts along the path. Look for bird houses affixed to the trees along the path.

We saw one bathroom (toilet enclosure) halfway along the path that it was more or less a Porta Potty! But unfortunately as soon as you open the door the odor and the hundreds of flies coming towards the light knocks you back 10 feet. They need to pay more attention to cleanliness of the bathroom.

Summerside PEI board walk by the bay, great place to stop and picnic while soaking in the scenery or just walking getting fresh air 👍

Took a special trip to Summerside for the boardwalk, and it was nice, but nothing terribly exciting. The boardwalk was lovely, and it's right along the water... it even has a small lighthouse along the way. We walked it when it was sunny and 24 degrees, so weather was not an issue. There was lots of seating areas, pavilions, benches, and garbage cans along the way. Overall it was nice, but not something I'd make a specific trip for. If you happen to be in the area and want a nice walk along the beach, I highly recommend.

The Summerside Boardwalk is a delightful destination that I had the pleasure of exploring recently. It offers a charming blend of leisure and scenic beauty that's hard to beat.

Strolling along the boardwalk, I was immediately struck by the picturesque views of the surrounding area. The tranquil waters, dotted with sailboats and the occasional paddleboarder, create a serene backdrop that's perfect for a leisurely walk.

The boardwalk itself is well-maintained and features a variety of benches and seating areas where you can pause and take in the scenery. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like well-placed trash bins and pet-friendly amenities.

One of the highlights for me was the local vendors and food stalls that line the boardwalk. From fresh seafood (Go Fish Eatery) to homemade ice cream, (Sunny’s), there's a range of tasty treats to indulge in. It's a great place to savor the flavors of Summerside.

While it may not have the bustling amusements of some larger boardwalks, the Summerside Boardwalk makes up for it with its serene ambiance and the opportunity to unwind by the water's edge. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or a scenic spot to enjoy with family or friends or co-workers, this boardwalk offers a little slice of paradise. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing waterfront experience.
