This is a small convenience store/market that also has a deli that makes great quick sandwiches to eat if you want something quick, light, and fast. Its been family run for many years and is my FAVORITE sandwich spot. This is an old school Maine General Store, which means it is CASH ONLY.

This may not seem like the place for the best pies, but Francis at this shop is known around town as the "Pie Queen" for her delicious pies. Rumors are she will close down the store in the winter and open in 2023 as a Pie ONLY store.

A short hike with almost no elevation at all. This is good if you have kids with you on the trip. The end of the trail opens out to the rocky shore where you can walk along the beach and get some great views!

A staple on West Street for almost 2 decades with the same owners. Awesome spacious place for some great Seafood or Drinks at the large bar. They reinvested into the business and knocked down their little restaurant and rebuilt West Street Cafe as a beautiful 2 story restaurant a few years ago.
