In a state that has more coastline than California, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the water. Sure, it might be cold and snowy in Maine right now, but the good thing about seasons is that they change. What might feel like a desolate tundra today (we might have a flair for the dramatic) will be blue skies, green trees and chirping birds in just a few weeks. To help bring on those summer vibes just a little faster, we’ve begun making our must-visit list of summer restaurants. At the top of that list is this tiny place in Bailey Island

Morse's Cribstone Grill can be find nestled along the shore on Bailey Island, Maine.
