For sure, the most awesome neighborhood in Portland, Maine is Old Port. The remarkable part is that I lived here when this was a decrepit warehouse district…but was fortunate enough to witness it transformed into today’s charming collection of pubs, eateries and shops right along the water. Ut...

One of the most readily accessible jewels of Maine lies in Cape Elizabeth, adjacent to Portland. The jewel is Portland Head - Maine’s oldest lighthouse, and perhaps it's most stunning. The lighthouse is open sunrise to sunset year round with no admission, because it sits in the splendid Fort Wil...

This store is so out of place in Portland, Maine, but you know what? I love it for it! It takes the small town charm and turns it on it head. I am sure you can guess the contents of this shop by the name alone and it will not disappoint.
Most of the items here are more for humor factor but t...

After reading Vances TravBuddy Review about the Portland Head Light in Portland, Maine, I wanted to see it for myself. An initial intention was to paddle my portable Klepper kayak out to this light but the winds were high and seas too rough. Instead, I approached the picturesque structure by Volkswa...

Located on the quiet banks of the Kennebec River, the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath -'The City of Ships' - was an excellent introduction to wooden ship building, New England coastal life, and the Maine lobster industry. Few pre-season visitors made it easy to breeze through the museum grounds at a c...

I hadn’t been back to Maine since we moved away in the summer of 2001, and returning was a big mistake. Coming back validated this place really is as beautiful as I recall and I can no longer dismiss my memories as nostalgia.
Was only back over a weekend that I tied into a business trip, but f...

On the coast of Maine, about 8 hours north of Boston, is one of my favorite hikes. The Cutler Trail is a 10 mile loop trail that crawls along the rocky coast of Maine, and cuts back in to a pine forest. It is everything Maine should be....with tall white pines right up against the crashing Atlanti...

A Mecca of a different sort is located just north of Yarmouth in Maine. Freeport is a massive shopping mall disguised as a quaint New England town. There are no rotund enclosures housing a bazillion stores, but every façade along the main drag is a retail shop of one sort or another. This was all...

Owls Head State Park and Owls Head Lighthouse are a nice place to walk around and explore. The park has a large parking area and a shady picnic area to stop and eat overlooking Penobscott Bay. Walking up to the light house youll get a beautiful view of the bay, some small surrounding islands and R...

A great stop as you head north from Portland along I-295 is to take exit 17 at Yarmouth and visit the DeLorme map store. If you haven’t heard, DeLorme is a long time purveyor of maps – for years they were known for their splendid Maine Atlas & Gazetteer, a booklet dividing the state into detail...

The one activity, I wanted to do while in Maine was go Sea Kayaking again. I had participated once before a couple of years ago and it was a great activity. A low key, but active adventure that offers a different way to explore the outdoors. Searched around before th...

I just came back from Bar Harbor Maine which consists of Acadia National Park. It was a great experience but only for those who enjoy outdoor activities. We hiked the Bubble Rock trail which was a short hike but has a great view of Jordan Pond. They named it after Bubble rock which is a huge rock th...

This is a real sand desert, created by over-farming on top of sand dunes formed by melting glacial deposits. Old farm buildings were actually completely covered up by drifting sand dunes! Now a museum and tourist attraction, you can camp right next to the "desert", hike the trails and take the tour ...

'Bar Harbor Whale Watch'
