Summerside
Summerside sits on the Northumberland Strait in western Prince Edward Island, a heritage-dense modest city with a real café and restaurant scene and many historic churches for its size. The second-largest city in the province, it serves as the main commercial centre for the island's western half and has a working port with a lobster-fishing tradition. La Voix acadienne, the province's only French-language newspaper, is published here.
