It's coastal Maine, so there should be lots nearby. One of our favorites is Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier in Kittery.
There are plenty of great breweries in the area! Some of our favorites are Earth Eagle, Great Rhythm, and Tributary. There's also great food AND beer at Throwback Brewery and Smuttynose.
There are a lot of cute shops and good eats in Portsmouth! Elephantine Bakery - favorite breakfast spot Popovers on the Square - great coffee and breakfast Old Ferry Landing - right on the water, great for lobster and fish n chips Lil's Cafe - breakfast and coffee in Kittery Ore Nell's BBQ - located between Portsmouth and Kittery, delicious BBQ
Dunne's Ice Cream - located near Nubble Lighthouse in York Annabell's Ice Cream - downtown Portsmouth, local creamery
Dana and I used to hang out here all the time when we lived nearby. Great spot to relax by the ocean!
