The Maine Course landed on higher ground after Superstorm Sandy, and the view on summer is great from atop Schooner’s Wharf in Beach Haven. In fact, things got more festive, if that was possible, among the dynamic team. “Gator bites” and “blowfish tails” are delectable new items (and conversation pieces) on the menu.

Overall, thefare of fresh seafood is still New England style – the succulent lobster roll is the single most asked-for sandwich on the menu.
