Since 1940, Peter’s Clam Bar has been a go-to destination for fresh seafood, cold drinks, and laid-back, coastal charm. Located right on the water in Island Park, this legendary spot offers dockside dining with old-school flavor and unbeatable summer vibes.

The atmosphere is everything you’d expect from a Long Island seafood shack—casual, buzzing, and full of character. Diners can grab a seat at the raw bar, hang out on the outdoor deck with a view of the channel, or settle inside the lively dining room filled with nautical flair.

The menu is stacked with seafood staples and shore-style favorites. Start with a dozen Little Neck Clams on the Half Shell or the Baked Clam Casino, then move on to classics like the Fried Soft Shell Crab Sandwich, Lobster Roll, or Seafood Platter, loaded with shrimp, scallops, and flounder. The New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque are rich, comforting, and perfect for cooler evenings by the water.

The raw bar is a standout, offering ultra-fresh oysters, clams, and shrimp cocktail daily. And for those who prefer turf to surf, there are burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and a few pasta options to round out the menu.

Peter’s also has a fun, laid-back bar scene. Frozen cocktails, cold beers, sangrias, and signature summer drinks like the Rum Runner and Blue Hawaiian keep the energy up, especially during weekend afternoons and sunset happy hours.

Live music, a friendly crowd, and a steady stream of boaters pulling up for a bite make Peter’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a summer tradition. Whether you’re coming for a seafood feast, a round of drinks, or a casual evening by the water, Peter’s Clam Bar offers a classic Long Island experience that never gets old.
