I did not plan to see Charlottetown, but with five consecutive days of rain in the forecast, I discarded my plans and made a reservation to stay at the HI Hostel there. Stayed there three nights, sleeping in a dry indoors. But that was pre-covid, I have no idea which hostels still exist or which are able to follow their business model of dorm style rooms. Enjoyed Charlottetown although my shoes stayed wet from sightseeing in the rain.

Photo from one of the hike in campsites at Five Islands campground when Bay of Fundy tide was in.



Tide was out.



My shuttle ride to the mainland from PEI on the shuttle in 2019 was $9, they did not charge extra for four panniers, a rack top bag and handlebar bag.



They did a good job of securing my bike to the trailer.



Photo through the windscreen on the shuttle van.



Seeing how narrow the shoulder is on the bridge, I was content to not ride it. (Riding over the bridge is prohibited on a bike.) The Seven Mile bridge I rode across in Florida Keys had a much wider shoulder, that was ok to ride on a bike.

You are going to have a great time.
