of local boutiques offering sophisticated
modern designs and fun lifestyle products.
Much of what you’ll find in Maine is
locally-made: from pottery to jewelry to
clever T-shirts displaying that famous
Maine sense of humor.
Finally, no visit to Portland would be
complete without a day spent outdoors.
Hop a ferry from the Old Port for the
short ride to Peaks Island, or just stroll

Scattered throughout the Atlantic

southern Maine to the northernmost tip.
While devoted sailors can spend years

prefer the lovely archipelago in Casco
Bay for its accessibility and natural beauty.
Serviced by the Casco Bay Ferry Lines, it’s
