The beautiful harbor is a working harbor, which is one of the top three fishing ports in the northeast. The fishing fleet supports a major fish packaging and freezing industry. Residents note emphatically that the city is not a bedroom community, offering work to many of its residents in five industrial parks that produce everything from T-shirts to electronics and engineering.

Artists have long been attracted to this area, working class residents as well as old wealthy families and newer summer visitors enjoy living here. Summer visitors swell the population to participate in the whale-watching industry, seaside restaurants and colorful festivals.
