All of our oysters at Black Point Inn are opened to order by the sure hands of our fabulous kitchen team.  We mainly serve the famous Damariscota Oyster, sometimes we serve Glidden Points.  We are especially proud to carry oysters from the Nonsuch Oyster company, located just across the way.  We show these special, local oysters on Tuesday Nights during our weekly Live Jazz on the deck.

Super fresh! Super good!  Take a look!

And this morning we heard that the Carry All was open for the season!  The Prouts Neck one-stop-shop for wine, newspapers, candy, and many many extraordinary and intriguing and eclectic gifts…

Take a look!

Now what was that about the Carry-all?  Must send our photographer down there to see what Larry was talking about?

At the beach the sand was warm, the water clear and the Inn could be seen just above the dunes.  See you all here soon!

The inn is unique in that the sun sets over the water and the Pine Point beach beyond, and can be seen each night from the seats in the Chart Room and on the Porch.

Last night our photographers were out in force attempting to capture the sunset.  This one might be hard to beat.  We had a very intense thunderstorm blow through from the West just before sunset, and so as the rain lifted the sunset revealed was quite extraordinary.  But you can let us know what you think.
