Molly & Barry
Things To Do
Schooner Anjacaa
Any of the sailboats out of Camden harbor are lovely, but we recommend the Anjacaa (smaller and faster than most) - especially the sunset cruise. BYO drinks and snacks!
Boynton-McKay Food Co.
The best diner brunch (and a Julia Child favourite) but it gets crowded on weekends
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse
One of our favourite walks - it's about a mile from the beach by the Samoset Resort out to Rockland breakwater lighthouse. Pack sandwiches from Rock City Coffee Roasters in town for a picnic!
Farnsworth Art Museum
Terrific American paintings collection for a small museum, with a focus on local artists - the Wyeth collection is the main (no pun intended) highlight
McLaughlin's Lobster Shack
Lobster rolls on the beach in Lincolnville (dogs welcome!)
Zoot Coffee
A fair amount of Molly's PhD thesis was written here...
Belfast Farmers' Market
All the little coastal towns have terrific seasonal farmer's markets - here's the one in Belfast
Young's Lobster Pound
Beach side lobster rolls in Belfast
Islesboro Island
Take the ferry from Lincolnville beach out to Islesboro island in the Penobscot bay
Long Grain
The best Thai food Molly has ever had - this restaurant books up weeks in advance so be sure to reserve a table! Ingredients all sourced locally at farmer's markets, cheap and excellent
River Ducks Ice Cream
Barry's favourite place for an enormous sundae! (They have gf cones as well)
Dots
Gourmet food and wine shop between Lincolnville and Camden
Lily, Lupine & Fern
Excellent selection of international wines and local cheeses (perfect for a picnic on a sunset sail out of Camden harbor!)
Darby's Restaurant
A recommendation from local friends
Maiden Cliff Trailhead
For a gorgeous hike (about 1 mile each direction and reasonably steep, though definitely hiking not climbing) - perhaps not for those who are, like Barry, afraid of heights! From the top you have extensive views across Lake Megunticook in the direction of the Dorkin cabin
Cellardoor Winery
For any wine-collecting friends keen to compare Lincolnville to the Loire, Belfast to Bordeaux or Camden to Chablis for terroir....
