You can enjoy the sights from any seat, whether you dine inside or outside. However, there's nothing quite like a relaxing evening on the patio.

You can also take in the scenery from a kayak. Not many know that Island View Waterfront Cafe offers kayak rentals in one-hour or two-hour increments. Find kayak reservations here and have fun!

You won't be able to take your eyes away from the views of Browns Creek and the bay. While most head here during summer, autumn provides splashes of color among the surrounding foliage.

And year-round, the sunset views will blow you away. You may never want to leave.

If you're wondering how the food is, don't worry! The menu options are plentiful, especially when it comes to the seafood. The soft crab sandwich is a local favorite.
