Longer days and warmer temperatures equals patio season on Prince Edward Island. With a view of the water meeting the sky, there really is no better place to be on a sunny day. If you are lucky enough to catch a sunset and some east coast tunes, you’ll recall this meal for a long, long time.

Add these locales to your PEI summer vacation bucket list.

Enjoy a full menu, signature craft beer, regular evening entertainment and custom-made fire pits for cooler nights.

Point Prim Chowder House – This salt-kissed clapboard restaurant should be called a triple threat given its high-ranking reviews for food and service, proximity to PEI’s oldest lighthouse and spectacular panoramic views of the Northumberland Strait. When you dine on the patio, you are just steps to the sea.
