Amazing Views from Every Seat!
Enjoy breathtaking ocean views from every seat. Stay cozy inside while watching the crashing surf, or inhale the crisp, salty ocean air from the outdoor patio. Relax under a cozy blanket in adirondack chairs next to a fire pit overlooking the ocean while you nibble on the freshest seafood around. Or perch at the Oyster bar inside while noshing on clams on the half shell or delicious fried shrimp. It’s all good!

Fresh, New England-Style Seafood
Enjoy a daily selection of fresh fish -- grilled or sautéed to perfection, delicious seafood dishes, live Maine lobster, fresh local crab, fried calamari, and a variety of local specialties. Savor some oysters, fish and chips, chowders, or authentic lobster rolls from the Bar. What could be better?  See for yourself…

Fresh Seafood Market
Eat here, or take it home – your choice.  Sam’s Seafood Market includes fresh seafood and prepared to-go items such as clam chowder, cioppino sauce, cole slaw, and potato salad, and more.  Be sure to try our signature crab cakes and fried shrimp!  Take your ready-to-go dinner home, each out on the beach, or get a take-out snack to watch the sunset on our back patio.  See the Market menu…

Protecting the Environment
Sam's serves sustainable seafood, chosen carefully, and caught the right way.  Because we know that this earth is for our children, and their children.  And it’s time to do a better job protecting it.  Learn more…
