The Boathouse

Timber beams and a wide bank of windows look out over the water, in a building that still has the rails and winches from its working days bolted to the floor. The menu runs to chowder, fish sandwiches, and cold drinks, with a raw bar at the far end and a shorter list for kids who'd rather not deal with anything that has a shell. Seating is first come, first served — the long tables by the windows are worth the wait if you can get one.
