Towns End Cottage   

Here are a few ideas for things to do while staying at the cottage.  Some ideas are seasonal, while others are year 'round.

Restaraunts.

Robinson's Wharf/ Tugs Pub.  

• An easy walk across the bridge, Robinson's offers a good beer selection and a "twin lobster dinner" right off the boat.  Lots of fun.

Bet's Seafood.

• It's that little shack with "free beer tomorrow" painted on it that you passed on the way in.  Their 1/2 fish sandwich isn't half a sandwich, it's half a fish so make sure you share!  Good price, big eats.

93 Townsend. 

• Located in downtown Boothbay Harbor, 93 Townsend is an upscale restaurant / bar renown for its wine selection and fine dining.  Owned by award-winning restauranteurs, Luanne and Bill Clifford.

The Ebb Tide. 

• A traditional Maine diner located in downtown Boothbay Harbor next to the whale watch pier, the Ebb Tide makes a mean breakfast and lunch.  Good for the "morning after."  Look for the red and white awning.

King Eider's Pub.

• Located in Damariscotta, King Eider's is a wonderful little pub with great food, a good beer selection and friendly service.

Damariscotta Grille.

• Also in Damariscotta, the Grille is the upscale restaurant with a great wine and food selection.  Can't go wrong here.

Cellar Door Vineyards.  No kidding- actual grape wine in Maine.  This is a wonderful scenic vineyard located outside of scenic Camden with a tasting room and wine shop.  Visit www.mainewine.com for more information.
