The best beaches in New England
Rebecca Cooney / New York Times
FOR FOOD - Every beachgoer has his or her favorite snack shack, but its hard to beat the clams at the Clam Box on Wollaston Beach in Quincy or the lobster roll at Tonys Clam Shop, also on Wollaston Beach. Many of Maines iconic lobster pounds are far from the beaches, but a notable exception is the Lobster Pound Restaurant (left) at Lincolnville Beach, next to the landing for the Islesboro Ferry. Just hunch over your food at the picnic table to guard it from the gulls.
