Rocky Bottom Fisheries
Boat tour agency
👍👍 Loved it! Always wanted to go on a lobster boat and this tour did not disappoint. The crew were so friendly and full of information throughout the ride. Would def recommend and was fun being hands on handling the lobsters and crabs and re-stocking the traps with bait.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
Catholic church
👍👍 Beautiful yet quaint cathedral that tops the very essence of Portland, Maine. It's very traditional looking from both the outside and inside of the cathedral, but offers more of a calming effect on the eyes. It's not as elaborate as other cathedrals out there, but has an almost modernized American f...

👍👍 There is plethora of info on the display boards within the structure. Very interesting, but you will need to spend a bit of time reading. ...and then enjoy the cute Bug Lighthouse at the other end of the parking lot.

👍👍 The Maine Duck Tours is unquestionably a fabulous attraction and a must visit guided tour when visiting Portland, Maine.
What makes the Main Duck Tours a unique and thrilling attraction is that it consists of “Two Tours” rolled into “One.”
The guided tour takes place completely on an amphibious ve...

Quarry Run Dog Park
Dog park
👍👍 I can't give this place enough stars. It's a huge park sporting a main dog park with loads of space to run around. There's also a separate safe fenced in spot for puppies to play. Further up is a trail that circles back around. It has multiple trails branching off it if you want a bit of adventure.

Fort Preble
Historical place
👍 Beautiful light house built in the 1800s. Was part of an active fort from the War of 1812 through the Second World War.
Very easy to reach, but you’ll have to park in the community college to access the lighthouse. You can really take some great pictures of the lighthouse from the nearby beach are...

Fore River Sanctuary
Hiking area
👍👍 While on a recent trip to Maine my wife and I were looking for a short hike to break up the drive. Fore River Sanctuary was a great pick with lots of trails and lots to see. We happened to go after it had been raining for the last two day so the trails were a little muddy. The trails were well maint...

Eastern Promenade Trail
Park
👍👍 I have traveled this trail both by foot 👣 and by train 🚂. Next to the Marginal Way trail in Ogunquit Maine, this is one of the best waterfront trails I have walked on!
Google Maps actually takes you to the Marina entrance. The downtown entrance is further down.
Besides the incredible view of Casco...

Bayside Trail
Park
👍👍 One of Portland's most beautiful places to walk or ride. We like to ride around Back Cove, under Tukey's Bridge and continue down the Eastern Promenade to downtown Portland. Seeing ferries come and go, walking on East End Beach and waving to visitors riding on the historic Narrow Guage Railroad make...
