North Beacon Oyster
Right on Main Street in downtown Rockland, Maine, North Beacon Oyster has been a beacon for seafood aficionados since 2018. Despite its prime location, this casual fine dining establishment remains one of the area’s best-kept secrets, something owner Mike Mastronardi and his Midcoast Maine-native wife, Amber, are eager to change. With a culinary team that brings experience from some of Maine and Boston’s finest restaurants, North Beacon Oyster offers an ode to the region's seafood, served up in its most splendid form.

April Shaw-Beaudoin & Buck Beaudoin

April is a fifth-generation Mainer, and Buck is a New England native who quickly fell in love with all Camden had to offer. After successfully running their marketing agency together for years, they decided to combine their love for branding with their love for their home — setting out to create the website and community they wish had existed years ago. A place to discover the best kept secrets that Camden has to offer, from food to events to news and everything in-between. Learn more about the faces who are making Camden Famous.
