Waterman's Beach Lobster was a family-owned lobster pound in
South Thomaston, Maine. Anne Cousens (maiden name Waterman) opened it in 1986. Her daughter, Sandy Manahan, and daughter-in-law, Lorrie Cousens, closed the place on September 4, 2016. She didn't want to sell it "because we don't want our name to go downhill."
Besides lobsters and steamed clams, Anne was just as famous for the homemade pies she would bake.
In 2017, the Manahan family applied, and was approved, to turn the spot into a microbrewery and tasting room. Sandy's oldest son Heath operates “Waterman’s Beach Brewery” out of the same building
