About

Coore’s Lobster Shack is a Maritime lobster shack and smokehouse, located at the Barn by Cabot Cliffs on Whitman Way.

Coore’s menu has been curated to highlight some East Coast staples every visitor must try.

Recently refurbished, The Barn features ample seating options and cozy nooks to sit back and soak in the ambience. Alongside Coore’s Lobster Shack, there is an exciting array of indoor recreational activities and games available, as well as outdoor activities, where you can unleash your competitive spirit with a game of outdoor tennis, archery, cornhole, croquet or bocce at the back.
