Private Beach Clambake Experience

Our Private Beach Clambake returns for the 2026 season, offering a one-of-a-kind evening on the upper beach. Each experience features a private table, dedicated bonfire, and tiki torch-lit setting for up to eight guests. Hosted by one of the Inn’s chefs, the evening begins with a welcome glass of rosé and appetizers, followed by a multi-course, family-style dinner with a live lobster pit reveal. The menu highlights fresh local seafood, steak, and farm-grown vegetables, ending with dessert served fireside.
