This is where you go to get the pre-cooked lobsters and steamers (which are clams steamed in their shells). This is also owned by the local foodie celebrity couple. Also walkable, but a bike may be better.

This is the closest restaurant for a classic sit down breakfast. Most will want to drive, although it is bikeable. In the same plaza as Landry's Shop'n'Save.

An incredible spot for brunch (although any meal here is great). Incredible ocean views and a beautiful front lawn (on the beach). You could ride your bike or drive, but keep in mind they do not have a hug parking lot.

This ice cream is FANTASTIC. The sea salted caramel is incredible. You will have to wait in line, especially if a little league baseball or softball game just finished. But it is worth the wait. The family's seafood restaurant is next door. The fried haddock is the best.
