Things To Do

Excellent beer and food options even if you do not want a lobster roll or any seafood

Mount Desert Island Ice Cream

The information above is for Cap'n Fish's Cruises in Boothbay Harbor. Also check out Hardy Boat Cruises -- longer drive to New Harbor, shorter boat ride to the island https://hardyboat.com/

Old Orchard Beach | Palace Playland

Casco Bay Islands

Also check out https://www.ccltmaine.org/ for trails on Chebeague Island

Eventide Oyster Co.

Excellent lobster rolls (buns) and drinks, too.

Higgins Beach

Portland Head Light

Old Port

This is usually what we consider "downtown" - the historic, beautiful part of town near the water. (Downtown is close by). Good food, drinks, shopping, and views of the islands.

Eastern Promenade

A great place to walk, and you can make it down on the rocks or East End Beach from Commercial Street/Old Port. https://trails.org/our-trails/eastern-prom-trail/
