Common questions
Stratford shares the Charlottetown weather station four kilometres across the Hillsborough Bridge, so live temperature, wind, UV, and air quality all reflect what you'll feel here. The OpenAir verdict at the top of this page combines those readings into a plain-English call on whether right now is good for outdoor plans.
Tea Hill Provincial Park is the most family-friendly with washrooms, showers, and lifeguards in season — best for an afternoon out. Keppoch Beach is quieter and good for wading, while Kinlock Beach is preferred by paddlers. The beach cards on this page show live conditions for each, so pick whichever has the best Go/Caution/Skip rating right now.
Tea Hill Park is open year-round for walking, with the seasonal beach amenities (washrooms, showers, lifeguards in some seasons) running from mid-May through early October. We surface live water temperature from the Northumberland Strait buoy on this page so you can see if it's swimmable before you drive over.
Stratford has six named parks: Fullerton's Creek Conservation Park (140 acres, 4 km of trails), Robert Cotton Park (17 acres on Bunbury Road), Kinlock Park (sports facilities), Keppoch Park, Reddin Park, and Pondside Park (1 km natural trail). The Trans Canada Trail also runs 7 km through Stratford, paved and accessible all year.

We pull the live wind reading from the Charlottetown harbour station, the closest active observation site to the bridge. Sustained winds above 50 km/h make the bridge uncomfortable for cyclists and high-sided vehicles; above 70 km/h, expect provincial restrictions on the larger Confederation Bridge — Hillsborough rarely closes outright.
Stratford uses the Charlottetown harbour tide table from Fisheries and Oceans Canada — the closest official station. The next high and low tide times appear in the Stratford intel block on this page, refreshed throughout the day.
Sunrise and sunset times update daily on this page, calculated for Stratford's exact coordinates (46.216°N, 63.088°W). In peak summer, expect daylight from before 5:30 AM until after 9:00 PM; in midwinter, the window shrinks to roughly 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM.
Free parking at Robert Cotton Park, Tea Hill Park, and along the waterfront trail. Both Tea Hill and Cotton Park lots fill up fastest on summer weekends with good weather — check the OpenAir verdict at the top of this page before deciding when to arrive.
Yes — the Hillsborough Bridge has a dedicated multi-use path that connects Stratford and Charlottetown's downtown core. We don't have a live status feed for the path itself, but the bridge wind reading on this page is the best proxy for whether crossing on foot or bike will be comfortable today.

Informal red sand beach popular as a kayak launch — the Bellevue Cove paddle starts from here. Great for paddling, less so for swimming.
