The beach is a great place for bonfires and the island is quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, the folks running the oyster and lobster shacks on the docks have let the quality slip. Our lobsters were average at best... not at all as fresh tasting as you expect from a seaside town, and the oysters had been shucked at least an hour before we got them... shrunken, dry and not at all good. But it is the price that earns the two stars. $14 a lb for lobster and $3 per oyster?! What is this, East Hampton? Menemsha over on Martha's is tons better, less expensive and still charming.

A MUST DO! A FREE EVENT & FREE PARKING! You know that the East Coast is bound by the Atlantic Ocean…read more& the West Coast is bound by the Pacific Ocean. Did you know that the 2 coasts are also bound by 2 Giant Forks? One is standing upright & the other one is standing upside down. You've heard that expression take a right or left at the Fork in the Road. Well they've taken that geographical driving instruction, that's also a culinary eating utensil & turned it into a wooden statue. This is one of The Secret Hidden Gems of America that most people have never been to or even heard about before. The Giant Fork in the Road is 11 foot tall & is located in Westport Massachusetts which is about an hour outside of Boston. This Funky Flatware Art Piece was built in 2010 by Tom Schmitt. The 11 Foot Tall Giant Wooden Fork resides at the intersection of River & Old Harbor Roads in Westport. It is made out of white pine & painted silver to resemble metal. Tom's wife Kate was totally behind the project as well. Now as Cool as this sculpture is, they do something Special for the Holidays here. On the 4th of July they topped the Fork with a 6 Foot High Hot Dog. On Valentine's Day it's decorated with hearts. On Christmas it wears a Santa's Hat. We Americans Love our Wacky Road Side Attractions! LOL! Now the Fork Saga doesn't end here, it continues onward. If you travel West my friend for a mere 3,000 miles, well 2,986 miles to be exact, you will stumble upon the other Fork in the Road on the West Coast. The Pasadena California Statue stands at 18 feet tall with its prongs standing downwards. So the West Coast Giant Fork is Straight Down; The East Coast Giant Fork is Straight Up. The Fork Saga doesn't end there it continues onward again. There are some other Giant Forks around the country located in San Diego, Kentucky, Oregon, New York & the largest one is in Missouri. They all have their individual stories that need to be told by someone. So if you're in the Massachusetts/ Rhode Island area check out this Fork in the Road spot. Also to make it worth your trip, there's a great ice cream shop about 15 minutes away. It's called The Eskimo King in Swansea MA. It has over 350 flavors of ice cream & has been dishing out sweat treats since 1957. They also have a special retro mascot. You can read my review & more details of that place as well. Now since I visited here in Westport word is the Fork sculpture was stolen but luckily it has been recovered in Rhode Island. The Police are investigating & The Fork Bandits are still at Large. These Giant Forks in the Road really put a Smile on People's Faces. Everybody gets out of their vehicle & takes a picture. Do you have a Fork in the Road in your state? It would be great to have one in each of the 50 states & territories too. Well Have Fun on your Adventures & Culinary Travels & as I always say "MayThe Fork Be With You"! LOL! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

**November 2025: Sunday Late Morning Visit**…read more Of the five trolls in Rhode Island Greta Granite was my favorite (in terms of design and location)! She's tucked away a bit from the main road, but she's definitely worth the visit. Be sure to park in the lot with basketball courts. There are big yellow footsteps that can help led you to the right direction. Once the cement road ends you'll see a sign that says "troll" and it'll lead to a small dirt path. This is also an area that has a single porta potty if you have a bathroom emergency. From that point you'll go through maybe a 5-7 minute walk into the wooded area. At the end of the trail you'll see Great resting with all her beautiful rocks surrounding her as well as her holding onto beautiful rock necklaces that she made. Visitors can either stand directly in front of her or sit on the rocks for photos. I think the majority of the hikers were local to the Rhode Island area, but she was still a fairly popular attraction on my Sunday Late morning visit. Everyone has very polite and made sure all visitors got their turn to interact with Greta (which isn't always the case). Overall, a great successful visit!
