I really like this place (maybe too much). It's a great spot to pick up some delectable gourmet items. This time around, I got their Tuscan tuna salad to go and some chocolate from two of my favorite chocolatiers, Byrne and Carlson and Ragged Coast Chocolates. They also have some of the best customer service I've ever seen -- they greet you as you enter the shop and say goodbye when you leave, and they're very accommodating in helping you decide what to purchase from a plethora of enticing choices.

This is the best beach and area I've ever been to, especially for a family vacation! It's quiet, serene, far enough to escape reality, and close enough to shops/entertainment to have something to do on rainy days. They have dog hour in the mornings which is fabulous! Love everything about this beach and this whole area!

Chocolate is amazing. A little pricey but definitely worth it. Peanut butter cups are the best! We make sure we stop at Len Libbys every time we visit Maine.
