Things To Do
Portland Head Light
Maine is known for it's lighthouses. Portland Head Light is our favorite. There are beautiful walking trails, and you might even catch some food trucks nearby.
Peaks Island
Just a 20-minute ferry ride from the Portland waterfront, Peaks Island makes for the perfect afternoon excursion. The ferry (address above) runs about every hour, and once you're there, you'll find restaurants, beaches, kayaking, and plenty of bike or golf cart rentals for easy sightseeing.
Freeport Village Station
Just 20 minutes north of Portland. Outlet shopping and restaurants in the walkable village center. Be sure to stop at L.L.Bean flagship store! This is their favorite place to spend a Saturday!
Pine Point Beach
Our favorite beach. Close to Portland.
Kennebunkport
Spend a day in Kennebunkport, just 35 minutes from Portland. A coastal town—beautiful beaches, great food, and local shops. Dock Square is the hub of activity in downtown Kennebunkport.
Acadia National Parks
Located about 2.5–3 hours north of Portland, it’s home to Acadia National Park, where you’ll find scenic woodlands, rocky beaches, and granite peaks like Cadillac Mountain. If hiking isn’t your thing, you can drive to many parts of Acadia National Park. After exploring the park, stay in the heart of Bar Harbor—a charming coastal town filled with breathtaking scenery, great food, and plenty of shops to enjoy.
