Bites, Sights & Seaside Stories

Explore Eastport’s history — from its working waterfront to its legendary ‘Old Sow’ whirlpool — then indulge in a classic Downeast lobster bake.
Eastport serves up history, charm, and a lobster feast you won’t forget. Stroll through the historic waterfront, hear tales of the ‘Great Fire,’ and learn why Raye’s Mustard Mill is a town staple. Take in scenic views of Shackford Head State Park and visit a working lobster pond before heading to a traditional Downeast lobster bake. Fresh lobster, warm butter, and homemade blueberry pie await — because no visit to Maine is complete without cracking into the local flavor.
