Their version of a clambake is a too-cute assortment of chocolate sea creatures on a bed of chocolate rocks. Sea salt caramels, made with local sea salt, are a favorite, and they stay open year-round.
You'll find used, rare, and new books at this family-owned, independent bookstore, including a large collection of Americana. There's also an extensive selection of children's books. Look for frequent author events and book signings.
