Visit Maine's most photographed lighthouse! Fort Williams park is a great place to see Portland Head Light, have a picnic, play games on the lawn, explore WWII forts, view the ocean at the entrance of Portland Harbor or fly kites!

See the full guide to Maine breweries below!

Some of our favorite beaches in the area include Scarborough Beach, Ferry Beach, Old Orchard Beach and Amusement Park, Pine Point Beach, Crescent Beach State Park, Higgins Beach, Willard Beach, and Ferry Beach State Park.

Scarborough Beach, Old Orchard Beach, and Pine Point Beach are best for parking and boogie boarding.

The Children's Museum is full of fun activities for kids! See the website below for more information and ticket pricing.

Take a day trip on the Casco Bay Lines' Mail Boat Cruise to see all the Islands of Casco Bay! The Captain usually gives a narration of the history of the bay. BYOB and lunch :) The cruise typically goes from 10-1 and allows for a quick stop at the ice cream store on one of the islands (time permitting). Enjoy!

It's hard to pick a restaurant in the Old Port because there are so many good ones! There is something for everyone whether it's a brewery, a distillery, casual fried food, fancy apps, seafood or burgers!

Some of my favorites with ocean views/seating are Portland Lobster Company, DiMillos, The Port Hole, Liquid Riot, Flatbread, RiRas (upstairs), and Luke's Lobster. They all have a fun, relaxed environment, some outdoor seating, good food, and great views!

Other great places to eat that are on the fancy side are Central Provisions, Street and Company, Scales, Fore Street, The Corner Room, and Via Vecchia.

Burger and beer lovers, see brewery tab above.

There are a lot of great Happy Hours all over the Old Port. Please reach out for more recommendations so I can help you find the place you are looking for :)

This small restaurant is near Pine Point Beach in Scarborough and has some of the biggest lobster rolls around! There is usually a wait to be seated, but it's worth it. All seating is outside on the dock. Lobster is fresh, caught locally, and can sometimes be seen on the lobster boats as they cruise by! Brooks and I go out of our way to grab some lobster from here while in Maine!

Other than the Bait Shed, there are several great places to try lobster rolls, in Portland. High Roller Lobster company was founded by to local high schoolers back in the day, and Dimillos, the floating restaurant, has had their name on the lobster roll list for some time now. If you find your favorite lobster roll on your visit in Maine, let us know so we can try it out! :)
