SAVORING SEAFOOD If the fresh catch offered at no-frills Boston
eateries like the Barking Crab whets your appetite, then the Roy Moore
Lobster Co. is your can't-miss stop. You can buy a steamed lobster for $10 at
this takeout place. Bring your catch home or eat out back while sitting on
one of the lobster crates. (Bearskin Neck, 978-546-6696)

KAYAKING If you paddle on the Charles but
long for less river traffic, rent a kayak from the North
Shore Kayak Outdoor
Center and paddle Sandy
Bay out to Straitsmouth Island.
Nose into the many coves along the way at low tide, and you'll see starfish
carpeting the rocks below. Guided tours are available for novices. (9 Tuna
Wharf, 978-546-5050, www.northshorekayak.com)
GALLERY HOPPING If you enjoy rubbing elbows with
artists at gallery open houses on Newbury Street, visit Rockport for its First Friday Shop and Gallery
Walk. The event, to be held the first Friday of every month through December
from 5 to 8 p.m., debuts this month. Dozens of shops and
galleries will offer refreshments and sales; look for the small flags that
mark participants. (Rockport Chamber of Commerce, 978-546-6575, www.rockportusa.com)
