Marine Environmental Research Institute
The Marine Environmental Research Institute is an important center studying the relationship between pollution and marine life. Visitors can learn about MERI’s activities in a series of changing exhibitions in the main gallery, often with hands-on exhibits for children. During the summer MERI offers two- to four-hour daily cruises (adult/child from $40/20) led by naturalists. Itineraries range from observing wildlife along the coast to exploring an uninhabited island, all with an educational focus in mind.

Arborvine
Inside a sweet 1823 Cape-style house, much touted chef John Hikade cooks up magnificent fish and meat dishes, incorporating organic, locally raised products as much as possible. Start with Bagaduce River oysters, followed by Maine sea scallops or pan-seared Ahi tuna and end with crème brûlée. As with other popular Blue Hill restaurants, be sure to reserve a table. It’s open off-season too, call for the schedule.
