I once heard Maine Humorist, Tim Sample, say that tourists come to Maine for three things…lobsters, lighthouses and moose. The Blog has covered most of the local lighthouses and the history of lobsters. Today I am going to give you a chance to test yourself on your knowledge of Maine lobsters. A future Ocean Point Inn Blog will discuss moose and how to see them!
