Things To Do

Portland was originally known for it's working fishing wharves and as a great starting point for coastal, lakefront, and wooded summer vacations to the north. More recently, the city's reputation as full-on food heaven full of acclaimed restaurants, small-batch coffee roasteries, and world-class breweries has come to the forefront. We've sampled quite a few of these and have some opinions on things to eat and do! If you can stay awhile consider visiting Acadia National Park, Bath, or Camden/Rockport/Rockland. Travel twenty-five minutes .... North and you're in Freeport, home to numerous outlets, the L.L. Bean Flagship Store, pristine rugged Maine coast, and the Desert of Maine. South and you're in Cape Elizabeth or Old Orchard Beach. West and you're at the Easternmost tip of Sebago Lake. The second largest lake in Maine. For an epic adventure head four hours north to Moosehead Lake, the largest in Maine.
