Super great time. Can go for 9 holes or 18. They have a great Tuesday special with cart for $20 per person. Club rental is $5. Beautiful grounds. Amazing customer service from Susan. Grab lunch at their snack bar. Perfect day for social distancing. We have been coming and enjoying for years. This place is for sale but has not been sold yet. It is a local gem. There is great pride and care taken for the grounds and the course. It is a laid back golf course with an amazing layout. It is affordable and enjoyable.

We spent at least three hours visiting this unique museum. There is so much variety here: a historic sea captains house outfited with period furnishings, displays of boats (old, restored and replicas), artwork from various artists and many hands-on displays for children. The staff were well informed and helpful, adding much to our visit. This museum is totally different from the marine museum in Bath, both are excellent!

Swing through after the museum or a trip to Searsport. They have great T-shirts for adults and kids. There is a cute section of baby gifts. There is a section for women’s clothing. Tons of jewelry. The household items section is my favorite. It is a great store for hostess gifts. Check out the sidewalk sale out front. Each Grasshopper shop is independently owned. It is a great place.

This is an excelent small town park. Modern kids playgroud, gazebo and covered picnic pavilion as well as a picnic area with tables and grills. Basketball court and large open fields for whatever ball game you want to play or fly kites. The beach is sandy with large rocks to sit on higher up. Low tide is great as there is a spit of land to walk out on as well as a few tide pools. A handicap portapotty and dog pickup bags availabe at a small parking arra. There is streeside parking too. You can fish from the beach and try caming with a permit obtainable at the town office. Maine takes fishing, hunting and claming permits seriously so please get one. Stargazing is great as is tanning. There's usually a breaze off the bay. If you are looking for 7 flags, this isn't it. If you are looking for a family quiet park, you found it.
