As local as you can get! Surf scene, live music, great food and good times - what more could you ask for?! Weekend breakfast is awesome, local produce, fresh caught fish, great backyard patio. Grill/restaurant on one side, bar on the other. Don't miss it!

One of several seafood restaurants in the harbor but this one is our favorite. Cozy wood burning stove warms you on foggy days, award winning clam chowder, every version of seafood you could want and the world's best carrot cake! Save room for dessert!

Their iconic location with beautiful decks overlooking the harbor and bay make it unbeatable. Almost too famous (read crowded on weekends) but impossible not to include them as a place to go. Try for off-hours if you can. Lobster roll and dozens of delicious choices!
