Things to do in Portland, Maine.

The Eastern and Western Promenades, the Back Cove Trail loop, sea kayaking out of East End Beach, Casco Bay island-hopping, and the Portland Trails system across the peninsula. Sebago Lake is 30 minutes out for skiing, paddling, and swimming.

Portland is the cultural and culinary capital of Maine — a working waterfront, James Beard-winning restaurants on every block of the Old Port, the Portland Museum of Art, the Eastern and Western Promenades, and walkable neighborhoods from Munjoy Hill to the West End. It's a small city that punches enormously above its weight.
