Marshall Point Light House, where scenes from a famous movie starring Tom Hanks were filmed, is a pleasure to visit. Port Clyde is a great little town and couldn’t be set on a more scenic portion of the Maine coast. We stopped at a small country store on the way to the light house and bought steamed Maine lobsters for our picnic lunch. We could not believe how cheap the lobsters were! Where we are from, Maine lobsters cost a fortune. So lobster is not something we eat throughout the year until we visit Maine. Here we were, sitting at a picnic table on the grounds of a famous light house, looking out over the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, eating fresh Maine lobster on a beautiful summer day. And the ocean was filled with lobster traps; perhaps one of them was used to catch ours.
