DAY TWO

4 SEAS THE DAY

Greater Portland is the first major U.S. metro area to greet the new day. Start yours by watching the mesmerizing sunrise over the ocean from your hotel roomwindow, a waterfront perch, an area lighthouse, or the deck of a Casco Bay harbor ferry. Then hit the beach! Greater Portland’s historical sites offer a fascinating look at culture and arts of yore. Visit a museum home for a glimpse into life in another age; hear about the famous and infamous buried in Eastern Cemetery; see where HenryWadsworth Longfellow penned his most famous poems, and walk whereWinslowHomer found his artistic inspiration. [p. 25] With many James Beard-recognized chefs, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries to taste, it’s little surprise Bon Appétit selected Portland Restaurant City of the Year. Whether you dine-in or take-out, a day that includes savory potato donuts, flavorful fresh seafood, an innovative brew, whoopie pies, or a lavish meal will make taste buds sing. [p. 31-39] Portland—known as The Forest City—is in a state known as Vacationland, so exhale and enjoy the evening! There are oppor- tunities to socially distance while hearing live music. Enjoy nightcaps with outdoor seating at area pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Or just soak in a sunset.
