Mary loves their lobster stew. I like the blueberry pie. Also the fried haddock is huge. Kind of local with not much atmosphere, but we like the food.

this is a small shop that sells cooked or live lobster. They also will ship. The drive to the shop is beautiful if you like quaint coastal villages. Family owned and run. Annette is a peach. No place to eat inside, but the lobster is very good.

Sightseeing
Cannot beat the views on Park loop road or the top of Cadillac Mountain. We even watched the first sunrise in the US from the top of the mountain. You need reservations and a national park pass right now for Cadillac Mountain. Sand Beach, Thunder hole, otter point, Jordan pond, carriage roads for hiking or biking. and miles of marked hiking trails. Our adult children like the Beehive, but it is too scary for me. Too much to cover here, but a beautiful coastal scene. NPS has guides that cover park details.
