Short & Main
36 Main StA family owned and operated restaurant known for their fresh seafood and laid back atmosphere. It is the perfect place to stop for a lobster roll and a drink after a day at the beach. Sit by the water, listen to music and watch the fishermen unload their boats at the dock.

Manchester-by-the-Sea
A small coastal town known for its clams and antique shops. We are biased because we currently live in Essex but this would be our ideal day in Essex:
Start the day by heading to The Mill to pick up coffee and breakfast sandwiches, maybe even some lunch to bring with you. Head to Conomo point for a couple hours of swimmingJT Farnhams and Woodmans are the go to seafood spots but there are plenty of great restaurants to check out. Favorites of ours include The Mill for great on the go items - we recommend a coffee and sandwhich before heading to Conomo Point for an afternoon of swimming. CK Pea
