Champlin's is a seafood restaurant on top of its own seafood market. With lobster and fish coming right off the boats, docked at this waterside restaurant, the fish is so fresh you might as well be eating on the boat itself.

The menu is exclusively seafood, either fried or steamed, and served plastic-fork-paper-plate casual. Dining is in an open-air deck overlooking the water and Salty Brine Beach -- not spectacular but appropriate for a restaurant that serves you fish "right off the boat". (Yes, there's a small indoor dining area, too, but who wants to be indoors when there's a fresh salt breeze?)

The restaurant is NOT handicapped accessible, there is no table service, but the food is modestly priced, even for seafood. It's recommended for a good dinner after coming home from riding the Block Island Ferry or swimming at the nearby beaches.

Champlin's is in the southwest corner of Galilee, just where Great Island Road going south makes a sharp bend to the east to become Sand Hill Cove Road. It sits on the water and is easy to spot. Parking, however, can be difficult for all restaurants in Galilee.
