Five Islands Lobster | Georgetown, ME
No list of the best lobster shacks in Maine is complete without Five Islands Lobster. Coastal Living Magazine named this eatery one of the best seafood dives in the state, and also gave the shack recognition as home to one of the best lobster rolls in Maine! It is a casual eatery, and longtime visitors recommend ordering a meal, picking out your lobster, going next door to buy a cold six-pack (customers may bring their own), and enjoying beautiful views from the dock.
Cabbage Island Clambakes | Boothbay Harbor, ME
Cabbage Island Clambakes offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience. This island is more than an excellent place for lobster. It is an experience in itself! Your trip begins in Boothbay Harbor where you’ll hop aboard the Bennie Alice. The ship then takes visitors on a cruise to a small, private island off the coast of Maine. Once you arrive on the island, you can look forward to a hearty meal of fish chowder, lobster, potatoes and onion, corn on the cob, and the best blueberry cake in Maine.
