Favorite Spots in Swampscott, MA

We spent two and a half months living in Swampscott, MA while finishing our van build. Here are 4 of our favorite frequent stops while living in this lovely town by the ocean!📍🌊 (check them out on instagram, too!)

1. Pomona Cafe

We quickly became regulars at this delicious cafe and wine bar! Favorite items include the Green Pomona Juice and the Salmon Bowl 😋 PS - they allow dogs🙏 and even have frozen treats for the pups!

2. Njord Haven

This is a unique dinner spot with Nordic and Asian inspired cocktails and food! Loved the “Crimes of Passion” cocktail and the seafood noodles 🤤. Owner, Chef Don, is wonderful and has as many stories as he does recipes.

3. Little G Bar and Kitchen

A shop with local goodies to go, and a sit down bar/restaurant with yummy food! You must try the chicken parm egg rolls!🤩 Head to Little G for a more casual vibe, and G Bar if you’re looking to get more fancy.

4. Phillips Beach

Clearly not a restaurant like the other three, but it IS a great place to have a picnic (we really like food if you can’t tell 😅) Even at high tide there’s enough beach to walk on and from Oct 1 - May 20 it’s dog friendly!🐾

There’s a few other favorites that didn’t make this lise, but I am happy to give more ideas or answer any questions if you’re in the area or planning at trip!
