Approx 40 vessels visit the port annually.

Vessels may anchor nearly midway between the breakwater and the piers at Summerside. There is also anchorage in about 8m in the entrance to Dunk River (46°22'N 063°47'W). Outer anchorage: The roadstead between the E side of Miscouche Bank, (46°23'N 063°53'W) and the shoal ground off the E shore Bedeque Bay, S of MacCallums Point, where there is good anchorage in depths of 6.0-7.0m, sand and clay. The recommended anchorage position is on the alignment (065°) of the N end of Holman Island, (46°22'N 063°48'W) and MacCallums Point, and with Seacow Head bearing 153°. It is possible to anchor further in, draught permitting.

Summerside Harbour is approached via a tapering channel in the SE part of Bedeque Bay. The harbour is entered through a narrow, buoyed and dredged channel between MacCallums Point (Indian Spit, Light 46°23'N 63°49'W) and Phelan Point, almost 1nm NW. The entrance channel has a controlling width of 80m and depth of 6.7m and is subject to silting.

Radio mast, elevation 76m red lights (46°24'N 063°45'W). Conspicuous orange and white tower, elevation 38m, red lights (46°23'.5N 063° 47'.6W) on top of a building. Old lighthouse (46°22'.2N 063°48'.7W) on the W side of MacCullums Point (now a dwelling). Abandoned lighthouse 0.4nm SE of the old lighthouse mentioned above. Radio mast, red lights (46°23'.8N 063°52'.9W) on the E side of Ives Point. For entering harbour: Summerside Outer Leading Lights: Front light (white daymark with a red stripe on a white square tower, with red top, 9m in height). Rear light (similar structure, 10m in height). The lights are in line bearing 029°. Summerside Leading Lights: Front light (white trapezium daymark, red stripe on a red framework tower, 4m in height), (46°23.2'N 063°47.4'W), on a shed on the public jetty. Rear light (white square tower, red stripe, 20m in height), 0.8nm ENE of the front light. The lights are visible on the leading line only. The alignment (072°) of these lights leads through the buoyed channel entrance and then to the piers at Summerside. When passing the breakwater head, it is necessary to keep slightly N of the alignment until approx 0.2nm E of the head, when the alignment should be resumed. The leading line passes close to Island Shoal, NNW of Holman Island, but is safe if not opened to the S.

Approach channel: Silting is liable to occur and affect depth of water. The Harbour Authorities should be contacted for latest information on this. Ice: The break up of ice in the harbour normally begins in early April, taking up to 4 weeks for complete clearance. Harbour ice forms again approx mid December, soon turning to solid ice. These dates can now vary by up to 5 weeks.

Mean max range is approx 1.4m and mean min range approx 0.8m.

A tug may be available.

Prevailing winds: NW'ly. Harbour ice forms in mid Dec and the break up begins in Apr, with complete clearance by the fourth week of the month. These dates will vary by approx 5 weeks.
