Maine’s largest city, Portland, is the perfect day trip when you get tired of lounging on the beach all day. The historic city has received a lot of accolades in the recent years, especially when it comes to food and drinks. Wander the working waterfront where you can watch the hearty lobsterman pull in fresh lobsters, shop the cute boutiques for unique gifts for all your friends, and enjoy a delicious meal at one (or more) of the many award-winning restaurants around town.

Visit the Old Port
The heart of Portland is its Old Port district filled with neat shops, restaurants, and cafes, and has something of a European feel to it thanks to its many narrow cobbled streets and old brick buildings. Go here to shop and eat at both high-end and casual, local establishments. The Old Port is a great place to take a walk and smell the ocean air. *Take 95N to 295N exit 7 rte 1/Franklin st, right on Fore St.
