North Rustico Beach is a part of the PEI National Park and is near the welcoming community of Rustico, approximately 35 minutes from Charlottetown. The name Rustico comes from Rassicot, a French settler, but the area is known to locals as “the Crick”. The area is famous for their Canada Day celebrations and annual summer Seashore Festival. The beach offers no amenities but drinking water and lifeguard supervision in the summer. The beach is close to the world famous Fisherman’s Wharf Lobster Supper restaurant, a very popular tourist destination for the classic PEI lobster dinner. Visitors to the beach can go deep sea fishing, many different companies run fishing trips out of the Rustico Harbour.
