Is P.E.I. one of the best provinces in the country to catch a sunset and sunrise?

It could be, as Islanders have a wide array of places they love to venture to so they can see the horizon light up.

On Thursday, we asked where you like to go to see the sunrise on P.E.I.

Sunrise or sunset, these are stellar places to be

Living on the Island, just about anywhere will offer an incredible view of a sunset or a sunrise.

Whether it's from your living room window, lakeside somewhere, on a beach, by a harbour or even out at sea, "there is no such thing as a bad place on P.E.I. to see a sunrise or sunset," so said commenter Monica Winn.

Either way, here are your pictures and places of some of the best spots to see the sun — and a handy map to track some of these locations.
