Home to the Bush family, Walkers Point is a must for first-time visitors. Secret Service won’t let you get too close, but there’s a place to park right before and right after the compound. If you’re looking for a longer stroll, the walk down Ocean Ave from Dock Square won’t disappoint.

A lobster tour boat that Kellie used to work on, the Rugosa is an interactive experience great for families and solo travelers alike. See Captain Bob haul up traps, learn about lobsters and the local fishing industry, practice banding the lobsters like the local fisherman would (don’t worry, the bands are removed before the lobsters are released back into the ocean!), and enjoy a scenic boat ride with views of Ocean Ave and Walkers Point.
