This photo taken from the deck of the Point Prim Chowder House, a famous seafood restaurant next to the oldest lighthouse (1845) on PEI, this is a well known place for the spectacular sunsets and it is recommended you go, if for no other reasons but to see the Sun setting into the Strait of Northumberland. It is only 30 minutes down the road from Charlottetown, so stay for dinner at the Point Prim Chowder House, the food is the best and highly recommended. http://www.chowderhousepei.com, they are open from Noon Time to 8pm so you can have lunch or dinner, half of the restaurant’s tables is on the deck facing the Hillsborough Bay. You need reservations to dine here, usually 24 to 48 hours notice. I was told that the Steamer Pot on the menu is highly recommended, it is composed of jumbo crab legs, quahogs, mussels, and fresh fish steamed in a ratatouille stew. They also have a lot of daily specials, fish and lobster. The restaurant is only open from June to end September being exposed to the sea it would be too rough and cold in winter.
Church at Point Prim, typical Island architecture for a church not made of red sandstone, the steeple is always two tones in colour, making it distinctive.
Point Prim is truly a magical place, so quiet and rugged, you just don’t want to leave.

Charming! A beautiful photo. Thanks to your blogs and those of two wonderful people in Halifax, since moving from the US to Spain I have fallen in love with Nova Scotia and PEI. Woe is I!!!

All of your pictures are so striking. I was wondering if the town has architectural restrictions on what can be built and what colors structures can be painted.

There does not appear to be restrictions, though in the Old 500 block which is the original Charlottetown of 1765 owners appear to follow guidelines. Developers not so much and right now there is one developer who is trying to get his hands on a park across the street from our house to build a modern 5 floor office-condo building. He has been unsuccessful for the last 15 years but he is still trying. All other buildings around are only 2 floors and traditional in look.

It does sound splendid. I like them magical quiet and rugged – like my men.
Watching the sun set into the water was once upon a time one of my favorite visions. Oh how i miss it so.

We will go to Point Prim for a late lunch or an early dinner to see the sunset. It is a delightful area. The menu is quite nice with fresh fish and seafood.

People down east must love to paint! Everything always looks freshly painted. I can see why you wanted to move there, so beautiful.

It is true that a lot of buildings get a fresh coat of paint in the Summer. The light and the colour is quite nice.
