Greater Portland
Maine's largest city - a working waterfront, Old Port cobblestones, and a food scene that punches well above its weight.
Flagship home of L.L. Bean, open 24/7 - outlets, a tidal river, and surprisingly good eating between the shopping.
Home of Portland Head Light - Maine's oldest lighthouse - plus Two Lights State Park and the beach at Crescent State Park.
Seven miles of barrier beaches, the Scarborough Marsh Audubon preserve, and Pine Point's lobster shacks minutes from Portland.
Quiet agricultural suburb north of Portland - the Cumberland County Fair in September still runs tractor pulls and pie tables.
Upscale Portland suburb on Casco Bay - Gilsland Farm Audubon, the Town Landing Market deli, and Mackworth Island walks.
