We have enjoyed exploring Portland and we hope you have a chance to do some exploring yourself! There are many things to do and here are just a few suggestions:
Shopping and eating in Old Port Maine
123 Commercial Street, Portland, ME 04101
This spreads out for blocks in all directions. Exchange and Commercial are fun streets to walk around but the whole area is fun to explore.
Portland Head Lighthouse & Fort Williams Park
12 Captain Strout Cir, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107
A short walk along the coast that ends at a light house. Great views of Maine's rocky coast.
Standard Baking Co
75 Commercial Street, Portland, ME 04101, (207) 773-2112
Great spot to grab a pastry and a coffee. Located in the heart of the old port it is a wonderful spot to start your day.
Eastern Promenade Trail
Eastern Promenade, Portland, ME 04101
Wonderful park that overlooks the ocean. Great running/biking/walking paths.
Portland Museum of Art
7 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101, (207) 775-6148
Casco Bay Ferry Ride
56 Commercial St, Portland, ME 04101
Feel free to explore some of the other islands in the Bay! Peaks Island is the most populated. It even hosts its own elementary school.
