The town pier has a wonderful mix of local lobsterboats and pleasure crafts. You can drive right onto a wooden parking area over the water and watch the boats come and go all day. You'd have to get there very early in the morning to catch the lobster boats going (around 4:30 a.m) but it's more fun watching them come back at the end of the day with their catch. You can see traps stacked on the docks and you'll even catch an occassional whiff of herring (aka - lobster bait) but it adds to the Maine ambience.
