If you’re looking to have a meal AND enjoy some gorgeous scenery, look no further than The Barnacle. Located in Marblehead, this restaurant with a view in Massachusetts is a must-visit.
There are some places where you just can’t get a better view, and The Barnacle in Marblehead is one such place. Open since the 1940s, first as a clam shack, this is the oldest family-run restaurant in town.

The lobsters served here are caught off The Barnacle’s very own boat. You can’t get any fresher than that. Enjoy a lobster with a side of steamers for the perfect meal. The lobsters come either stuffed or steamed.
