15 May Claws & Cones: A Coastal PEI Road Trip You Can Taste 🦞🍦

Posted at 18:55h in Culinary, See & Do by

Ready to cruise your way through the Central Coastal Drive, one lobster roll and ice cream cone at a time? This May long weekend, we’re inviting you on a delicious self-guided road trip that celebrates two of PEI’s most iconic indulgences…lobster and ice cream!

Whether you start with a cone or a claw, this flavour-packed adventure is your excuse to hit the road, explore charming seaside communities, and eat like an Islander.

Stop 1: Brackley Beach

Start your journey along the scenic coast with something sweet and something salty. Grab a scoop (or two) from Decker’s Dairy Bar, then swing by Richard’s Seafood for a lobster roll that’s well worth the drive. Oyster lovers won’t want to miss Brackley Bay Oyster Co. They serve up fresh oysters and ice cream, so why not treat yourself to both?

Stop 2: North Rustico

Next up, cruise over to North Rustico where you’ll find the irresistible Cricker’s Creamery serving up cold treats to cool you down. Then, treat yourself to the coastal flavours of the Blue Mussel Café or On the Dock Eatery, famous for their fresh-off-the-boat lobster dishes.

Stop 3: Kensington

No summer road trip is complete without a visit to Frosty Treat Dairy Bar in Kensington. Their soft serve is legendary, and just down the road at Rudy’s Takeout, the lobster rolls are as fresh as they come.

Final Stop: Victoria-by-the-Sea

End your  adventure in one of PEI’s most charming villages. Stop in Kinkora along the way for a scoop at Somerset Ice Cream Bar, then roll into Victoria for waterfront dining at the Lobster Barn Pub & Eatery. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sun go down with a cone in hand and shellfish on your plate.

From cones to claws and everything in between, this tasty road trip is the perfect way to kick off summer on the Island. Whether you’re in it for the seafood, the sweets, or the scenic views, the Central Coastal Drive serves up a little something for everyone. So hit the road, follow your cravings, and make this May long weekend one to remember!
