Where is the best place to take sunset pictures in PEI?

Hi Connor,

It's difficult to name a single "best" sunset location on Prince Edward Island because spectacular sunsets can be found across the Island. You will find endless options. Personally, I gravitate toward beaches and coastal landscapes, where the open horizon creates an unforgettable backdrop as the sun slips below the water. 

If you like to plan, the Photographer’s Ephemeris can help predict where the sun will set on a given day. T It's a useful way to identify locations with the best viewing angles, although local terrain and weather conditions can always influence the experience.

If you would like to look directly over water, the coastline from North Cape to West Point offers some of PEI's most dramatic sunset views. During the summer months, other coastal areas, including Cape Egmont, Cavendish, Point Prim, and Greenwich to East Point, can also offer stunning sunset experiences as the sun's position shifts north.

That said, some of the most memorable PEI sunsets don't happen over the water at all. I've seen brilliant shades of red, orange, and pink illuminate the sky above rolling farmland and country roads. When conditions are right, the landscape almost doesn't matter; the sky puts on the show. If Mother Nature cooperates, you're likely to enjoy an unforgettable sunset no matter where you are on the Island.
