We%26#39;ve never been to Maine. We are planning to be in Maine 5 nights. Any recommendations???
At this point we are staying in Potland 2 nights then off to Bar harbor for 2 nights and return to portland 1 night and then to Foxwoods casino in Ct. for 3 nights. We want to see whales, ant favorite company? I%26#39;d also like to possibly find boat rentals. What would be a must while in Portland and bar harbor. I love to take pictures!!!
Thanks for your help
Bar Harbor and Portland
It all depends on what you like to do. In Portland the Casco Bay Ferries have very cool trips. Whale Watching is just ok in Maine; better off the coast of MA but they do have some that go out of Bar Harbor. If you love to take pictures I would stop at Portland Head Light as well as Two Lights State Park. Both are just south of Portland and are stunning. I personally think that Two Lights has some of the most beautiful coastline in all of Maine. We love just walking around Portland as it%26#39;s really interesting and has some cool shopping and good restaurants. We like the rabbit stew at Bull Feeney%26#39;s! Portland also has a very good art gallery which is worth a visit if you like that stuff. On the way to Bar Harbor...Wolf Neck State Park in Freeport is really nice. Gives you lovely views of the water and it doesn%26#39;t get too crowded. Hiking in Acadia is wonderful. If you like taking pictures you%26#39;ll find that just about any place on the island is great. We just came back after spending a week in Bar Harbor and filled an entire memory card with 590 pictures! Top of Cadillac Mountain; Park Loop Road; Wonderland and Ship Harbor trails; Hunter Beach; Otter Cliffs; Monument Cover; Long Pond (via Fire Road off 102); Gorham Mountain (even if you only go 1/2 way up) are all great places to visit.
