ephraim

This beautiful and picturesque village — dotted with pristine white clapboard buildings and picket fences — has unsurpassed views of the bay, museums, a long sandy beach, and endless ways to enjoy the water. Go splash around in the bay!

Wander the tree-lined streets to find DC inspired art, pottery, clothes, jewelry, and beach gear. Shops, restaurants, and B&Bs are tucked away in vintage homes, rustic log cabins, and old barns.

There’s more harborview dining here than anywhere else in the county. Enjoy a Scandinavian influenced meal, a traditional fish boil, or a simple malt and burger — as you watch the sunset over the bay.

monday evening concert series Live music by local musicians every Monday at gazebo in Harborside Park from 6-8 pm. Bring a chair or blanket and stay for the sunset!

water sports and activities Swim, kayak, canoe, paddleboard, wind surf, parasail, or go boating. Charter fishing, a variety of boat cruises, and rental equipment are offered by local companies.
