"At the southern end of the Marginal Way, Perkins Cove is a small, postcard-perfect harbor with a whitewashed wooden drawbridge that opens whenever a tall mast glides in. Of the handful of seafood restaurants here, the most beloved is Barnacle Billy’s. Order the steamed lobster—plated simply with a side of drawn butter—or the lobster roll, which comes on a hot buttered bun, full of claw meat and not overloaded with mayo. Grab a table outside on the wraparound deck overlooking the lobster boats and sloops, and enjoy Maine dining at its best." - Suzanne Rowan Kelleher
