The Cabbage Island Clambake - It originates and finishes with a boat ride/tour from Boothbay Harbor, but the actual clambake is enjoyed on Cabbage Island located on Linekin Bay. (The price in 1999 for the trip was $37.50/person - For information call them at (207) 633-7200).

  7) Another view of the cooking area showing  the entire dinner being cooked over an open hardwood fire. They cook it under seaweed with a burlap cover.
  8) Enjoying the dinner, which consists of fish chowder, 2 lobsters, clams, corn, onion, potato, an egg*, blueberry cake, and all the coffee and ice tea you can drink.

*A note on the egg: - Many people ask  how and why an egg (which looks like a regular boiled egg) got included in the meal. They say the egg is how one used to determine in the old days when your clambake was done cooking. One would simply check the egg, and when the egg was thoroughly cooked, the dinner was also completely cooked.

The island also offers indoor, patio and outdoor dining at picnic tables, they also have volleyball, horseshoes and an entire scenic island for the exploration.
