Waterman's Beach Lobster was a family-owned lobster pound in South Thomaston, Maine. Anne Cousens (maiden name Waterman) opened it in 1986. Her daughter, Sandy Manahan, and daughter-in-law, Lorrie Cousens, closed the place on September 4, 2016. She didn't want to sell it "because we don't want our name to go downhill."[1]
Besides lobsters and steamed clams, Anne was just as famous for the homemade pies she would bake.[2]
In 2017, the Manahan family applied, and was approved, to turn the spot into a microbrewery and tasting room. Sandy's oldest son Heath operates “Waterman’s Beach Brewery” out of the same building[3]
Honors and awards edit
In 2001, Waterman's won an America's Classics award from the James Beard Foundation.[1]
Epicurious named it one of their 7 Favorite Maine Lobster Shack, pointing out the seaside location (overlooking Penobscot Bay)[2] and picnic tables.[4]
