In Lubec, Maine you can stop by the Fisherman’s Wharf Restaurant for fresh seafood served right along the water in one of the most unusual settings in town. Lobster, scallops, crab, and other seafood are brought in from local fishermen, and you can enjoy your meal while looking across Johnson Bay. The restaurant is part of The Inn on the Wharf, which was created from a former sardine factory that finally closed in 2001 after decades of operation. At one point during the mid-1900s, Lubec had more than 20 sardine processing plants. Every table has a water view, and the outdoor deck puts you right above the bay where you may spot seals, seabirds, and other marine life. Lubec is also the easternmost town in the contiguous United States, adding another reason to explore the area. The restaurant operates seasonally from May through October, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can also stay overnight at the waterfront inn, with whale-watching, kayak, and bike outings offered from the property.
