STRATFORD

"Stratford has so much to offer! Sample their hospitality - work the kinks out on the miles of walking trails, partake of great food in the restaurants and bars; shop for groceries, fill your gas-tank. Enjoy the many parks: go for swim on safe sandy beaches, or tour the scenic routesthrough the community. Visitors can also use the Town Hall exercise  facilities, walking track and weight-training machines at no charge." Mayor Kevin Jenkins. 

 The Town of Stratford is a small, but growing, community with a big heart.  As a full service community nestled along the beautiful south shore of Queen’s County, Prince Edward Island.  It’s located on the opposite side of the Hillsborough River from the Island’s capital city of Charlottetown, offering a beautiful scenic view of the capital from across the water, particularly in the evening or when a magnificent cruise ship can be seen in the harbour.  The capital is the scene of nightlife, theatre, historic sites and walking tours, shopping, restaurants, and full services.

“Just across the bridge,” Stratford is a suburban community with a town and country feel, and lots to offer both travellers and residents.  Accommodation choices range from bed and breakfasts, RV parks, and motels to charming country cottages overlooking Northumberland Strait from Tea Hill. Specialty shops include a great hobby shop, specialty golf store and more.  In fact for all things golf, be sure to check out our top rated local course, with its elegant pro shop and lovely dining room overlooking the greens and fairways.

Groceries, pharmacy needs, gas, automotive supplies and much more can all be purchased in our town away from the hustle and bustle.

Enjoy the beauty and quietness of the town’s public beaches, manicured walking trails and parks.  Stratford prides itself on having 29 areas of well maintained parklands within its 22.1 sq km.  Visit beautiful Teahill Park to enjoy a cozy beach with picnic areas, public showers, and restrooms. Pick up take out at one of the fast food outlets near the bridge and head for one of our parks for a delightful repast on a summer’s day.

If you feel like a break from riding you might want to consider polishing your golf game. Stratford is home to The Canadian Golf Academy, located at Fox Meadow Golf and Country Club. The Academy is Canada's largest and premiere golf learning facility and a great way to get prepared for a game. With one of North America's leading golf instructors, Anne Chouinard (coach of LPGA star Lorie Kane), the Academy features programs designed to assist any level of golfer. Programs include half-, one-, two-, three- and five-day schools. Private lessons, short game schools and junior camps. The Academy features computerized video swing analysis system, four short game centres with target greens, an indoor training facility with multiple hitting stations, an on-site club repair specialist and custom fitting systems.
