Few places in the world can match the natural beauty and low-key character of the Maine coast. The area around the Four Acres Cottages is particularly special. Powdery white sand beaches, picturesque port towns, delicious restaurants (see some suggestions at the bottom of this page), terrific shopping, and down-to-earth people. Life moves at a slower, friendlier pace around here. We’re sure glad it does. And so is everyone who comes to visit—again and again and again.

Places to eat in Cape Porpoise

  • Cape Porpoise Kitchen

    Delicious takeaway gourmet sandwiches, salads, and prepared foods. Great stop for morning coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Nice selection of wine and a picnic/dining gifts.

  • Nunan's Lobster Hut

    Just like the name says—a hut that serves fresh lobster, owned by the Nunan family. This place has been around for decades. Classic interior, unchanged by time, gives you a real flavor of the Maine coast.

  • Ultramar & Casa 77

    Two different restaurants in the same building. Formerly known as Pier 77 (upstairs) and the Ramp Bar & Grill (downstairs). Freshly renovated and reopened by Italian-born Chef Germán Lucarelli, Ultramar (upstairs) offers refined dining with spectacular views, while Casa 77 (downstairs) delivers comfort food in a relaxed yet equally gorgeous setting.

  • Cape Pier Chowder House

    Next door to Ultramar and Casa 77. Very casual spot with a small indoor area and a huge outdoor terrace overlooking the harbor. Great chowder, boiled lobster, and plenty of other seafood basics.

  • Bradbury Brothers Market

    The nearest grocery store. It has pretty much anything you could need—dairy products, fruit & veg, bread & cereal, fresh meat, drinks, and a deli counter.

  • Musette

    Upscale restaurant serving breakfast/lunch on the weekends and dinner most evenings. Prix fixe dinner menu includes starter, main, and dessert. Formerly known as the ‘Wayfarer’.

  • Langford Road Fish House

    Harborside fishing shack that sells fresh lobster and seafood. Great option if you’re keen to do some home cooking in your cottage. Better still, make your way to the back of the shack and enjoy cooked lobster and sashimi at one of the picnic tables overlooking the harbur. Magic.

  • The Lost Fire

    Atmospheric restaurant known for its delicious grilled meats. Plenty of seafood and other options on the menu as well. Indoor and outdoor dining options.

  • Goose Rocks Dairy

    Tucked off the main road on the way to Goose Rocks Beach. Well worth a stop for delicious ice cream served in gigantic portions. Tons of flavours to choose from.

  • Goose Rocks Beach General Store

    Convenience store at the entrance to Goose Rocks Beach. A great place for snacks, coffee, and takeaway pizza and deli sandwiches. Also good to know that there’s a public portable toilet in the parking area behind the store—the only one at the beach.
