Pet-Friendly Charlottetown
April 18, 2025
Charlottetown is well-tailored for pups of all kinds and welcomes furry friends from near and far. With a slew of pet-friendly accommodations, shops, patios, parks, and beaches, visitors can easily enjoy a proper Island experience with their devoted companions right by their side.
Shore to Snout
Take a day to high-tail it out of the city, car windows down, toward one of PEI’s many pup-friendly Provincial Parks, such as Argyle Shore and Basin Head Beach
as well as public beaches like Kinlock Beach, Blooming Point Beach, and Grand Tracadie Beach. National Park beaches also allow fur babies from Oct 15 – April 1.
Tail-Wagging Terrain
Arguably, some of the Island’s landscape is best explored from a four-legged point of view. There’s a plethora of sniff-worthy parks and boardwalks both within the city and beyond. Walk along the water or laze in the grass at Confederation Landing Park, Victoria Park, or one of our many green spaces. Head outside of the downtown core to either Hillsborough Park or Upton Park for a fun, off-leash experience.
A Dog’s Dream Day
For the ultimate dog-friendly day trip, head to Tracadie Beach, home to FIN Folk Food Restaurant & Blackbush—the only indoor restaurant on the Island that welcomes dogs. Spend the day on the beach, then unwind with a post-surf margarita and fish tacos alongside your pup.
