The beauty of Maine

 Portland Maine is a city where oysters and lobster rolls are practically a birthright, it's a beautiful coastal area, with craft beers and amazing food. Portland is Maine's largest city.

  The Old Port District & Waterfront is an old part of Portland, some of the buildings date back to the late 16-1700's, so the buildings are quite charming for their old age. The architecture is amazing! There's cobblestones roads & it's just a picturesque landscape. 

You can go on boat tours, whale watch and take historical tours on the old fire-trucks. 

Food : Dimillos  On The Water- Wonderful seafood restaurant on the Portland Ferry. Also, try Duck Fat get their crispy duck fat soaked fries, they are tasty! Eventide is an amazing seafood restaurant. Get their Oysters. They are so fresh & delicious. The Holy Donut: It's an iconic Donut shop that's expanded to other locations but, if you travel to Maine, you must have a donut. They are phenominal. I am obsessed. They use fresh ingredients. Chocolate Sea Salt is my favorite!

Hardshore Distillary offers tasty has excellent whiskey. 

If you happen to be in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday mornings head over to Deering Oaks Park to visit Portland's Farmers Market. It's a good spot to enjoy nature as well and enjoy a walk.

Fort Williams Park & Portland Head Light - Has a calm vibe, it's more low key, relaxed area. You can see the historic Portland Headlight, which is the light-house built in 1791. It was commissioned by George Washington himself. It does cost $2 for 2 hour parking. It's a scenic area that is so calming. At Fort Williams Park there are tons of trails  to explore & there is a playground there for the kids & locals to enjoy. There are nearby abandoned forts that were used to defend the harbor from potential naval attacks in the 18th and 19th century's.

Take a history walking tour, or go out on Lobster Cruises, where they take you to  go lobster catching! You can even purchase a lobster right off the boat where you can take it across the street to get it cooked for you. It was 2 lobsters for $25 and only $11.99 for them to cook it with all the fixings, which was pretty reasonable.
