Lulu Buffets at Barefoot Landing Myrtle Beach was a new restaurant to us .  When we go to Myrtle Beach we always enjoy eating at new places.

Lulu is, if you have not already guessed it Jimmy Buffet’s sister.  Lulu’s has a menu which highlights the taste of the seas.  a lot of the items are different from what I am use to.  Lulu has a cookbook which my wife picked up this summer.  It has some great things in it so we were sure we would enjoy eating here.

The building is very nice.  It looks much better on the inside than  on the outside.  I think the best seating is the outside on the deck.

As with most of my visits to seafood restaurants I order one of three things. seafood plater, fish and chips or  a fish sandwich.   At Lulu’s I did change it up a little. 

 

Fish and Onion Rings

Ordering onion rings instead of fries may seem odd and they may not go with the fish as well, but look at them.  When I saw some going by the table before we ordered, I knew I had to try them. They were beyond doubt the best part of my meal. Lulu Buffets at Barefoot Landing Myrtle Beach menu has a lot of different things on the menu and you should really look it over before ordering, 

My wife ordered the blacken fish tacos.

Tacos

She enjoyed the tacos and the strong flavors.  Overall evaluation of Lulu’s at Barefoot Landing Myrtle Beach is the portions are a bit small for the price you pay.  The food is good but not great.  Remember this was our first time eating there so we may have loved something else on their menu.

York Maine is one of the greatest places that I have ever visited. Our first visit was by accident. We were traveling North from Boston on our tour of New England and had failed to make a reservation for the night. As the sun began to set we arrived at York Maine.

Driving North up the coast we passed some great looking older motels. One that we loved, Anchorage Motor Inn, had a great view of the Nubble lighthouse and the ocean. We drove past the motel to get to the lighthouse before we lost all light.

The Nubble lighthouse is the best lighthouse that we have ever seen. I think it is the perfect example of a lighthouse. Not having enough time to look at and photograph the lighthouse, we decided to spend the night at York.

We drove back to the motel, Anchorage Motor Inn, that we had seen driving in. The second floor of the motel had tables and chairs overlooking the ocean. I asked for and got a room on the second floor near one of the sitting areas.

The gentleman at the front desk was great. He recommended places to eat and things to see. Then as I was leaving he made one last recommendation. He told me that the sunrise was beautiful and something to see as the sun rises out of the ocean.

That night we walked across the street to the Sun N Surf restaurant  and got lobster rolls to go for supper. We sat outside at the table overlooking the ocean and enjoyed our food and the beautiful view.

The next morning my wife and I got up early and walked on the rocky beach in front of the motel, drank our coffee that they gave me at the front desk and watched a beautiful sunrise.  For breakfast that morning we drove a short distance south of the resort to a little restaurant called the Lobster Cove, which had a lot of local customers.  We were seated by the window facing the ocean.  The only thing better than the view was the food.  Staff was great and very friendly and my breakfast was the best breakfast that I the entire trip.

Before leaving York we drove back to the lighthouse to get some better photos and views of the little island it sits on and ocean around it.

If you ever travel up the New England Coast, York Maine is a must stop.  We enjoyed our time there and made plans to return.
