If you want the classic coastal Maine experience, then you need to head over to McLaughlin’s Lobster Shack in Lincolnville for some of the most succulent lobster you’ve ever tasted. And even better, the casual dining experience offers counter-pickup style ordering, so you can eat indoors or on the beach, just feet away from the water. So for the perfect beach day, topped off with some delicious lobster, head over to Lincolnville Beach and McLaughlin’s. You won’t be disappointed.
Lincolnville is a small, charming coastal town in Maine. It's a little shy of a two-hour drive from Portland, so this beach town makes for a perfect day trip. And a Maine beach day requires a stop at the local lobster shack. Luckily, McLaughlin's Lobster Shack offers visitors the chance to eat some succulent lobster without even leaving the beach.
McLaughlin's is a family-owned seafood restaurant that has been around since 1956. Four generations of McLaughlins have been serving this amazing food, and today, six family members across three generations proudly serve the community.
The restaurant is committed to serving only the freshest, locally-sourced seafood. All entrees start raw, are unprocessed, and are cooked fresh to order. Notably, the lobsters are kept live, on-site in tanks, and you can watch your meal being prepared.
The delicious lobster rolls contain all meat, which is cooked and shelled fresh the same day it’s served. You will be so distracted by the amazing food that you may not appreciate the stunning view!
McLaughlin's Lobster Shack is a fun, casual, counter-pickup style ordering experience. So order at the counter, then take your amazing meal to go, to eat outside on the lawn or beach, or to enjoy inside in the nautical-themed shack.
When you visit, be sure to also check out the Wheel House Beach Bar, a full-service bar housed in a converted wheel house of an old sardine carrier boat. Grab some drinks and also some other delicious bites to enjoy in this unique spot.
