58 Kensington Road
Red Shores Racetrack & Casino is at the Charlottetown Driving Park, 58 Kensington Road, Charlottetown, PE C1A 9S8. It's attached to the Eastlink Centre, so look for the Eastlink Centre and you've found it. The main line is 902-620-4222, and the toll-free number is 1-877-620-4222.
Don't mix it up with the other Red Shores on the island. That one is Red Shores at Summerside, 55 Greenwood Drive, attached to Credit Union Place. If you're meeting friends, make sure everyone has the Charlottetown address.
Distances across the island
Stratford is 3.5 km away in a straight line, and Cornwall is 7.1 km. From there the island opens out: North Rustico 29 km, Montague 37 km, Borden-Carleton 44 km, Kensington 45 km and Georgetown 46 km. Summerside is 54 km off, Souris 69 km, Alberton 96 km and Tignish 106 km.
Keep in mind these are straight lines, not road distances. Any road you drive will be longer than the line. The track itself is inside Charlottetown, on Kensington Road. For the actual route and the turns along the way, pick the town and open it in Google Maps.
The home stretch
Every town is a lane; the finish post on the right is Kensington Road. The further back a lane's marker sits, the longer the straight line to Charlottetown. Pick a lane for the figure and a road route.
Summerside
54 km in a straight line from Charlottetown
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.
