The Traditions of Lobster Buoy
Many of our campers have returned to Lobster Buoy for years or even generations. Over time, many past times have grown into traditions.
Lobster Buoy is a great place to make new friends. We pride ourselves on the fact that most of our business is from repeat campers. You will always see groups of people gathered around campfires in the evening. Many times, those groups of people will offer to have you sit in with them. You will hear many stories about Lobster Buoy and Fred and Mabel Batty.
During the month of July, nightly fishing for Stripers is quite commmon. The fishermen will all gather down at the beach around midnight, or whenever the tide is at the highest. Whether you are an experienced fisherman or someone who just wants to try your hand at it, you will most likely find a welcoming group of people.
Many people also fish for Mackerel right off the big rocks on our beach. You will see all ages down there, ranging from the life-long fisherman to young children.
Activities for Children
We are in the fifth generation of campers at Lobster Buoy. This means that people have been consistently bringing their children back to our campground. We like to have the sort of place that the people who camped here as children will return to when they grow up and have children of their own.
It is not unusual to see groups of children gathered on the beach, either swimming in the water, making sand castles on the beach, or hunting for crabs and other sea critters from the Big Rock. The Atlantic Ocean is a fascinating place for a child and we have had many instances of campers arriving only to have their children asking to go to the shore before their parents have even had a chance to register at the office.
Of course, parental supervision is necessary when your children are on the beach. We do not have a lifeguard on duty and use of the beach does constitute leaving the campground.
Lobster Buoy is a great place for children to fly kites, to paint on rocks and shells that they find by the water, and to ride their bikes freely but not down the hills. We try our hardest to maintain a safe environment for your children.
