Ontario's Waterfront Patio Will Make You Feel Like You're Dining On A Tropical Island

Time for a mini vacation!
Lead Writer, Travel

Forget packing your bags and digging out your passport, you can go on a mini tropical island vacation right here in Ontario. Located on the shining shores of Tobermory, this little patio oasis will sweep you away to an exotic island. Put on your finest Hawaiian shirt and soak up some sun on Ontario's tropical patio this summer.

Your southern vacation may have been cancelled this year, but that doesn't mean you can't indulge in some vacay vibes.

This hidden gem will sweep you away to a tropical island with its colourful decor and delicious dishes.

Coconut Joe's Harbour Bar & Grill is a restaurant in Tobermory that sits right on the water.

As its name suggests, the eatery is basically a little piece of the tropics right here in Ontario.

The venue boasts stunning sunset views and will make you feel as though you're sitting at a beach resort.

You can indulge in dishes like Caribbean Jerk Chicken, Wild Whitefish Taco, and the Island Burger for some ultimate vacation vibes.

The Smoked Applewood Whitefish with smoked corn, mango salsa, slaw, and seasoned coconut rice will transport you to the Caribbean with every bite.

The restaurant is currently open for takeout, with limited seating available on the patio.

You can further your vacation feel by exploring places in the surrounding town.

Tobermory has lots of cute boutiques and beaches with stunning turquoise waters.

It's also close to the popular Grotto, a magical cave with a bright blue pool of water.

The Social Pub in Peterborough will also take you on a tropical getaway.

With giant drinks the size of your head and private tiki huts, this is one spot to sip the day away at this summer.

Soak up the sunsets and enjoy some exotic dishes at Coconut Joe's tropical waterfront patio.
