Favorite spot for lobster 🦞.
If you want to take a ride, this is an absolutely beautiful spot to enjoy lobster and the scenery. Reid State Park is only a few miles away. It is my favorite place for lobster, fried clams, etc., and the price is right! Best time to go is mid afternoon to avoid crowds.
