Road route in Google Maps

A straight line is not a road, least of all across the Northumberland Strait. Driving time is not estimated.

Distances run from the map point of Charlottetown to the town points of OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors; the track is in the city, at 58 Kensington Road.

Coming over from the mainland

From the mainland, the straight lines run across the Northumberland Strait: Pictou 70 km, New Glasgow 81 km, Amherst 95 km and Truro 98 km. Sackville is 103 km, Moncton 130 km and Halifax 180 km. A line over open water is not a road, though.

Your real trip follows the roads and has to get you onto the island, so it will be longer than the numbers here. That's why the route button matters more on this side. Open it, and Google Maps lays out the way. We don't estimate driving times, so check the map before you leave.
