A portion of this road is low-traffic and great for walking on. There are a few places where rocks jut out into the harbor that are great for swimming or just sunning off.

Fun fresh-water swimming from a beach or a small dock. Usually quiet and relaxed. A nice bike ride from our house if you don't mind a bit of rt. 17 riding and some hills!

Great hikes and views. You can drive up to the tower on Mt. Battie for a great look-out, but it's considered "the beaten path" by locals. The Megunticook hike offers great views with fewer folks!

I would wager this is the best Thai food in the U.S. And I'm a foodie. The prices are ridiculously low for such great food too. But be sure to make a reservation and be patient for your meal!
