Not only is this the VERY best place to get lobster and steamed clams to go, they have THE best prices, convenient parking, beautiful setting with views of a lake and the ocean, handmade fun tikis created by the owner. He is incredibly friendly, always has a smile on his face and really takes such personal care of his regular customers. I am a New England girl and have enjoyed steamers my whole life, at Beach Plum Lobster Farm, they have THE CLEANEST, sweetest steamed clams I've ever had anywhere. No need for broth to remove sand! I could eat them daily if given the chance. Not to be missed for any clam lovers. Plus they have high quality butter that you buy along with the already low priced lobsters and steamers. Keep in mind this is a to go place so it's ideal for a picnic on the Marginal Way or on the sand of beautiful Ogunquit beach at sunset. I ALWAYS make this my first stop in Maine because it is consistently perfect every time! Thank you for bringing such a wonderful place to my favorite town! read more

Updating my previous review because we're back in 2025 and can confirm that this place is still our favorite. We had numerous lobster dinners at other places, and still wound up repeatedly revisiting Beach Plum Lobster Farm. They steam the lobsters perfectly, the prices work for us, and we don't need a bib to take the lobsters and home and drink them with a nice glass of chardonnay. Sad to see the outdoor tables are gone, but hey, that's life. Dave and Kelly are also very easy to talk to and are very flexible with requests. It's settled - we're coming here at least twice every time we come to Maine. Also got some oysters this time too, which were a pleasure to shuck and went nicely with the lobsters. We're taking some lobster home with us, just like we did last time, and look forward to coming here again next time we're down this way. read more

Daughter had nearly given up on finding oysters in the middle of October, but Beach Plum Lobster Farm had them. Actually, she bought the last box. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't get the name of the man who steamed our lobsters. I will call him Bruce because he looked uncannily like Bruce Willis. Bruce was immensely friendly and helpful and actually seemed happy to see us. Possibly that was because we bought the last of the oysters. Sure there are many places where you can buy lobsters (and clams and oysters and other seafood in season), but we were all glad we stopped here. I don't think you will find anyone more interesting to converse with as you wait for your lobsters to steam. If we go back to Ogunquit, we will go back to Beach Plum Lobster Farm. read more

Beach Plum Lobster Farm - On the corner of Captain Thomas Road. Can't miss it. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Admittedly, this spot is both a 'seafood market' and restaurant, though that doesn't mean you can't get a killer meal here. Lobster & Steamers is what you get here and no more, no less. Gravel parking lot entrance. Picnic tables were folded. Totem pole. Located in Ogunquit and not far from Wells- this is a diamond in the rough for sure in every way- but we weren't disappointed. With so much open water in Ogunquit, the seafood- restaurants get to work with, is second to none. Our 2lb meaty Steamers and Lobster were reasonably price and held us over just fine. Beach Plum prides itself on serving the 2 freshest items and you can taste the quality in every bite. FYI- Lobster isn't split or cracked- make sure you have those essentials tools on you. The place is nothing fancy, but the food is superb. read more

Always freshly cook by the Sargent in charge Very strict to the point guy runs a great place Always look forward to the clams read more

This place is a trip and we love it. The owner, Dave, is an eccentric artist who carves all the wooden sculptures you see around the store. Be prepared for a healthy ribbing and bring cash. He's particular but it's part of the experience. Only two people allowed in the shop at once, no photography. Don't ever call and bother him, just show up and you will get the best lobster prices in the area. You would have to go all the way to Wolf Lobster farm to get prices anywhere near these. I've never tried eating there. I've only bought live lobsters to bring home. Next time I'll try getting some cooked food. I can't wait to go back! read more

Ok , you want the perfect lobster for your Maine vacation. You don't mind getting a little messy but you want a fresh delicious critter that's the best value you can get. Here is what you are going to do: Collect your lobster eating supplies- rolls of paper towels, plates, bread, some sides, drinks and an appetite (don't forget the bug spray if you're eating al fresco) Then go to beach plum farms. Understand that they have lobster and clams and drawn butter. That's it for food (you can pick up bibs and crackers too, but I might skip the crackers they will be too small for what you should order) Say hi to Dave, he's good guy but all business (and taking COVID seriously) so have a plan . Tell him how many lobsters you need and what size- make or female if you care. My tip, GO BIG. They get the "monstahs" there, and if you ever wanted a 3 or 4 or more pounder this is your time. Get some clams too. They are delicious Wait as they cook your critter outside in the cauldron. The big ones take 20 min or so. Be patient (it will be hard) Your prize will be delivered in a paper grocery bag in a plastic bag (you were expecting fancier after getting this far in this review?) Need a place to eat? Congdons after Dark a couple of miles north has picnic tables, food trucks and a bar. You'll need to break that shell, hope you brought a hammer, if not there may be a tire iron in your rental car Enjoy (and get some ice cream afterwards) read more

Super fresh, sweet, awesome lobster!!!! Dave, who's place it is, is a great guy, wonderful to talk to!! This is a true lobster pound, you won't find cooked items like lobster rolls or chowder, BUT he will boil up your lobster to perfection as you wait. Also, prices are absolutely reasonable! Go get yourself a perfect, sweet, fresh Maine lobster, chat with Dave, and check out the incredible totem poles he makes - wow! We wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Beach Plum Lobster Farm - My 1 1/2 pounder, sweet and succulent! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

This place was such a find! We spent Labor Day weekend in Ogunquit and of course, I wanted lobster. Since we were camping I wanted to get takeout so we could have dinner by the campfire. I found this place through Yelp and it seemed perfect since it was a lobster farm and not a restaurant where I'd be contending with a lot of fellow tourists that would be trying to have a sit-down dinner. We stopped by a little before dinner time and I was waited on almost immediately. The gentleman inside was very attentive and helped me choose the right "bundle" for me. For $42 I ended up with 2 lobsters, a bowl of steamers and a container of butter (there is a charge for butter because this isn't a restaurant). I seemed to have gotten there just at the right time because people started pulling into their parking lot pretty consistently right after I ordered and I only had to wait about 5 minutes for my food to be ready. I'm sure when it gets busy during peak times the wait must be much longer so going during off peak times if you can is probably best. The man who waited on me assured me that the steamers would be the sweetest ones I ever had with zero sand in them and boy was he right! They were DELICIOUS and a great combination of small clams and larger ones. The lobsters were also perfectly cooked. Overall I felt like it was a great value for my money. It was some of the tastiest and freshest seafood I've had in a long time and I can't wait to go back! read more

Beach Plum Lobster Farm - Lobster and steamers-I couldn't wait to dig in so already ate 1 lobster and half the steamers by the time I took this pic - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Just a great spot. We look forward to visiting every vacation. They cook the lobsters & steamers for you upon ordering and we walk them back to our cottage and enjoy on the back deck. read more

Exceptional....fresh, sweet delicious...now I have had the best!!! Great prices and value...enjoy

Called in our order and picked up steamed lobsters after our visit to Ogunquit beach. For a busy little town, it was easy-peasy take-out. No picnic tables - spread out our picnic blanket instead, watching the ducks as we chow down some fresh lobsters and clams. read more

Ahhhh-Mazing! Came here for lobsters but the steamer clams stole the show YUM! I've always had clams cooked in a sauce and/or garlic of some sort but steamed up with the best grass-fed butter they could source... There's nothing but quality here. For the steamer clams, you pluck the clam out of the shell and remove the skin off of the siphon (breathing tube). The owner gave the analogy of removing a sock off your foot which I thought was hilarious but made total sense on how to eat the steamer clam. The staff here was knowledgeable and patient which is a bonus because we didn't know what we were doing but we were told we should come here. Being a yelper I snapped a photo here and there while inside but bf warned me there was a giant photo outside that said "no photos". The owner said for legal reasons they didn't want any photos posted with prices which is understandable. The price of seafood fluctuates and they didn't want to give anyone any false promises on the seafood prices. Since I wasn't taking pics of any of the prices he didn't mind. No frills, no wait staff, and no restrooms here. You order to go or they steam it up for you and you can eat on some picnic benches outback. For dining in the picnic area, they do provide plates & napkins and there is an area to wash your hands. If you have add'l time you can also wander across the street to the garden for a stroll which was recommended by the owner as he grew up out there. read more

First time here! Great service, amazing lobsters and steamers. So delicious and fresh, no sand in the steamers. Absolutely recommend -- this is a must stop when in the Ogunquit area. Dave packed up our lobsters and steamers perfectly for our ride home to MA. We will be back!! read more

YES it's on a pretty desolate road. YES they're literally just a lobster pound w/ picnic tables outside. YES you get straight steamed lobster or clams here but they're fresh & pretty cheap! you can choose what size lobster you want out of 5 choices & it's more expensive per pound when the lobsters get larger.. we ordered the 2nd largest option ---steamed lobster: yummy, takes ~15 minutes before your food is finished steaming ---steamed clams (2 pounds): remember to rip off the membranes from the feet & they'll be tasty the lobsters & clams cost us $30 PLUS have a vending machine if you need a drink NOTE: they offer free lemons & butter to dress your steamed lobster although the broth they steam your seafood in is pretty flavorful! read more

Must have. Again and again. Very reasonable prices NO FRILLS steamer clams & lobsters only. They do have butter & lemons. We got lemons and drinks at the grocery store and picked up some food to bring back to our rental. Picnic tables outside so you can make a mess and Wash off with a hose.

The best lobster and steamers as always. Not one bite of lobster that was even close to chewy, and so sweet!

we bought 3 lobsters today! I have not gone here before, but very friendly service and we were told how to make the lobsters (eventhough I already new how) I listened and did it his way. The lobsters were UNBELIEVABLE! we will definitely go back. Prices were very reasonable read more

Friendly family owned business. What attracted me to this lobster place, is the pricing! I didn't want something touristy or expensive. Note: this is not a restaurant, but they have benches to eat outside of the store. You can order live food or boiled. The prices vary for the size of the lobster. I ordered the #3 size for $7.99 a pound live. The my recommended that I get two lobsters for $12 each cooked. So I did. And I also got 2 pounds of fresh clams. The owners are very friendly, the business at their home property. The prices are affordable compared to a sit in restaurant. The lobster and clams tasted so fresh and juicy. A cup of butter is $1. Didn't have anything to complain about! Come by and get some clams and lobster! You won't be disappointed. read more

Very friendly customer service! Excellent lobsters, very fresh, very soft shells, excellent steamers too.

Great Service and Fresh Lobster At A Good Price! We really enjoyed our visit to beach plum lobster farm. Husband and wife own and operate this business and we found them to have a really great sense of humor and be super friendly. They went out of their way to make small talk with us and give us a few recommendations for things during our trip in Maine. Donna absolutely love the fresh lobster that they cooked on site for us and we ate out in their little park on a picnic table next to the parking lot. I however am allergic to lobster so I did not partake, so I had the clams which were actually quite good. I am definitely a fan of clams and well eating 2 pounds of clams sounds like a lot I was still a little bit hungry, but Donna was super happy about the monstrous amount of lobster that she got at least. If you are up this way in Maine definitely stop by here and get a treat and tell the owners that Vladimir and Donna sent you all the way from Arizona. read more

Went twice in our two day trip. This is the most "Maine" place in "Maine". Lobsters, Clam, Picnic tables (BYOB) and some of the most unique totem poles you will ever see (carved with a chainsaw by the owner). I prefer one Huge Lobster over two smaller (since you can access the meat easier, but you can't go wrong). NOTE: A huge chunk of their business is ToGo on Ice for when you get home (live lobster). read more

Best place in Ogunquit to get fresh cooked Lobsters and Clams. Since this is a take out only, bring your own beverages, if you want to eat in the parking lot, or be prepared to carry the lobsters back to your hotel. read more

This place is amazing! Went there 3 times while we were staying in Ogunquit for our 25th Anniversary. Got a pair of lobsters and a stick of butter and enjoyed them on the porch of the hotel we stayed at. Hottest and freshest lobsters we ate all week. Came back the next day for 2 pounds of steamers...these are the best around! Finally, we stopped in the morning we were flying back home and had 10 live lobsters packed up to take back to Illinois. Dave had them packaged quickly and perfectly for travel. The lobsters were as good when we ate them at home as they were in Maine! You can't go wrong getting lobster or clams here. Prices are killer and they are simply the best around!! read more

這個光頭老闆每次來就好像覺得要理不理的。很跩的態度。覺得好就被殺豬一樣價錢隨便討亂喊。那兩隻龍蝦2磅半clam $62。也不知道為什麼那麼臭屁⋯⋯。Also, no more picnic table and ONLY takeout. read more

Excellent fresh lobster! Just lobster, Lemons too! Purchase Live or they will cook for you. Reasonably priced.

This is the place to go for the best lobsters and clams in Ogunquit! Beach Plum has no frills or fancy views, it doesn't even have side dishes. What it does have can't be beat though, the freshest lobsters and clams at unbeatable prices. None of this market price BS that you get at most restaurants. You want a 1 3/4 pound lobby? 8.99 a pound you want it cooked to perfection so you can eat it now? 16 bucks, steamers on the side? They come in a 2 lbs bag also cooked perfectly for about 14 bucks. After grabbing some local corn at a farm stand on the way home, 3 adults are eating a Lobstah and Steamah dinnah for under 70 $$!!! Try paying that at one of these other places and they'd slap you in cuffs and throw you in jail. This place is a 10/10 P.S. fun lobster fact time! Lobsters were so plentiful in Colonial New England that they were considered peasant food. They were even fed to prisoners. Pffft! Stupid colonial prisoners had all the luck! read more

Beach Plum Lobster Farm - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

THE.BEST.LOBSTER.I'VE.EVER.HAD... period. Enough hyperbole. On my Maine trip, my friend had a family friend working at this place who charmed us all into getting two orders of steamed clams on the side of lobsters we were ordering. There may or may not have been a SLIGHT deduction due to their familial relationship, ha. Would you prefer $30 lobster dinner at some restaurant for a few nibbles of iffy lobster meat, OR 1.5lb fresh lobster for $6-$8? ...... Thought so. This is as fresh as it gets. From the tank to the steamer and right to the dinner plate. My friends and I cooked mashed potatoes and a side of mixed veggies and added a glass (or two) of homemade sangria, but the entree was the lobster itself. It was difficult for my dainty little hands to crack it open, but with some motivation and determination it was done, and worth it. If you visit Maine, swing by this place. You won't regret it. read more

OMG !!! Lobster heaven!!!!! The two of us just finished eating 6 lobsters and 2 lbs of clams!!!! Yummmmm!!!! So fresh and perfectly cooked. My daughter and I arrived at BPLF...Tina is sooooo nice and friendly...Can't beat the prices $3.99/lb - $9.99/lb for the largest size ! We decided to max out so we ordered 6 lobsters (3 a piece).... The lobsters are right there, alive in tanks. Tina put them in a net and dropped them into the cooker and voila ! 10 minutes later we were on our way with our lobsters, clams and lots of paper supplies so we could eat them in the hotel in Boston. Tina anticipated all of our needs,.,..everything was packed perfectly so there was no mess when we ate.... Great tip...Prepare by putting the waxed paper on the table and a napkin under your plate. Put the brown paper bag into the plastic bag. Place the plastic bag with the paper bag on the table sideways, so the opening is facing you. As you crack open your lobster, hold the lobster in the bag so the excess water drains into the bag and not all over the table....continue to open the various parts of the lobster inside the bag. Once open, you can now put your lobster meat onto the plate and grind!!!! Clean up was great! Lots of plastic bags! Thanks Tina! We will be back! read more

EXCELLENT well-priced lobster. They ask for prices not to be put online, so I'll respect that. But know that I got an entire lobster for less than what I was charged yesterday for a small lobster roll! Small unassuming place, where they stick to their fresh-caught specialties: steamers and lobster. They had some #3s cooked (#1s are chix lobsters) so I didn't even have to wait for it to be steamed! Opted to bring it back to my hotel to eat, it was still incredibly hot. They do have some picnic tables available tho. The meat was sweet and juicy and I got the melted butter to pair with it. Perfect lobster meal enjoyed with the summer breeze on a warm day, and I didn't have to deal with a sit-down restaurant to have it. read more
