Working Waterfront - Jonesport and Beals are a rough and ready “ behind-the-scenery ” experience of a DownEast fishing community still populated by generations of lobster fishing families . This is a landscape in action featuring hard-working men and women who provide seafood to the world , including the 2nd highest annual catch of Maine lobster in Maine . Dooryards are piled high with accoutrements of deeply rooted traditions built by generations of salty fishermen - lobster traps , buoys , and boats awaiting their return to sea .
