10 North Shore summer targets

By Tom Haines, Globe Correspondent

Settle in for a bite

Just up the street from Halibut Point, pull over at Folly Cove and choose a feast in the fish house atmosphere at The Lobster Pool. Coastal classics abound, from fried clams and New England-style chowder to 2-pound samples of the crustacean that gives the place its name. It is best to take a table outdoors and feel, so close to the big city, as though you're all the way Down East.
