Overview

About This Establishment

Beal’s Lobster Pier hits you with harbor air and dockside energy. The garlic lobster roll is lobster-forward with a lightly toasted bun, and the whole lobster delivers sweet, succulent meat. The blackened haddock sandwich stays moist with a bold spice, served on a homemade roll. It’s a maritime scene—casual counter service, live music, and waterfront views that make the wait worthwhile.
