A great beach with surfing about 13min away by car. Make sure you check the tide because the beach disappears completely at high tide.

Cute little uninhabited island off of Falmouth that has a 1.5 mile hike around the island and several beaches. Parking can be tough here and if there are no spots and already a car waiting, they turn you away so be prepared with a backup plan.

This is the permanent storefront as opposed to the food truck version that is at Fort Williams. Same great food but this one is near a lot of breweries. You can get a lobster roll and bring it to the breweries. This location is also BYOB so you can bring a beer from the breweries into the restaurant. My favorite lobster roll in Portland!

The East End is home to a bunch of great breweries and my favorite hard seltzer bar, Aprés. Some popular breweries and bars in the area are Austin Street, Rising Tide, and The Zoo. There are many more though. Park along Anderson Street and just walk from brewery to brewery.
