Schooner Landing
Restaurant & Marina

Temporarily Closed due to fire
The Marina
Historic Schooner Landing is built over what was originally Cottrill’s Wharf which was established in the late 1700’s. During the 1800’s the wharf provided the best location for seagoing vessels to transfer cargo. In the early 1900’s the dining area of the current restaurant became an important area for cargo transfer, but also developed as an active area for tourism who would arrive via train in Newcastle and then transport via steamship to areas such as Bristol and Pemaquid Point. Today it's a great jumping off point for locals and tourists alike as well as a working waterfront for a handful of local oyster-farmers, tour guides, & more.
