My top choice for seafood! It's kind of ironic, a restaurant that far inland that has some of the finest seafood around and the portion sizes are to brag about. This place is so well known, wait lines can exceed 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. You must try their lobster bun; it is loaded with about a half pound of lobster. And talk about a seafood platter or fried clam platter. Bring an empty stomach and plan on taking home a doggy bag.

A beautiful hike up the backside of the mountain on the fire tower trail. Once on top of the mountain you have spectacular views of the White Mountains and on a clear day can see all the way to the ocean. Loads of nature and a fire town, when open, I believe you can still climb and have access to it's views.
