If you think lobster should be eaten at home (its home, not yours) and best enjoyed in Maine, out of doors and within sight, sound and smell of the sea, then Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier is hard to beat.

For over forty years, the Spinney family has been serving lobster here so simply and so superbly that many of their patrons won't eat it anywhere else.

Chauncey began as a working lobster pier and in the early 1950's started selling boiled lobsters and lobster rolls to local patrons. With gradual expansion and word of mouth, Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier has become what it is today--the best and most accessible of the countless lobster pounds that dot the coast of Maine.

Located in Kittery Point, barely an hour north of Boston, the pier sits on a large deck perched on the bank above Chauncey Creek offering 42 brightly painted picnic tables, an enclosed area for inclement weather, and a postcard-perfect view across the water to the pines and back down toward Pepperrell Cove, sails and spires gleaming in the sun.

Picnic hampers and ice chests are definitely part of the scene at Chauncey as you are welcome to bring any food from home that is not offered on our menu, including beer or a bottle of your favorite wine.

So relax, enjoy some lobster, and remember: A trip to Maine isn't complete without a visit to Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier.
