Don't even think of going out this way by public transportation. It's not
convenient and the above sounds easier than actually doing it. You need to
be able to drive there. In that area there are other good seafood
restaurants--for example: In Ipswich there is the Clam Box.

Then one known only to to locals "The Causeway" in Gloucester

Another thing to consider if you have a place to eat--Local market "Market
Basket" sells live lobsters (pick the one you want out of the tank) and will
steam them for you. Price the other day was $4.99 lb
From any one of these you can drive around the area to look around,
Gloucester etc
MLD.
