Around New England

49. Fore River Sanctuary, Mackworth Island, Fort Williams & Crescent Beach State Parks Portland, Maine


Listen Later

This week we venture off to some cool family friendly spots in the Portland, Maine area.  We head to Mackworth Island State Park for some quiet views of Casco Bay.  

Next we headed to Fort Williams Park to see the famous Portland Head Light lighthouse and walk the cliff walk.

We finally had to check out Crescent Beach State Park where you can rent paddle boards! 

another spot we recommend is Fore River Sanctuary.  This is a beautiful hiking area that leads to Jewel Falls, Portland's largest waterfall.

When we explored most of these spots, we did it off season to beat the crowd.  G mentions The Hidden Outlet on the Route 1 Bypass in Portsmouth, NH as a great place to grab some good deals on outdoor clothing.

There are SO many great places for coffee and food in Portland.  Here is a list of places we mention:

Taco Escobarr

Portland Pie Company

Otto Pizza

Rose Foods (introduced to us by La Mulita Coffee.  The best in the Seacoast of NH!!)

Flatbread Company

Black Cow Burger & Fries

Bard Coffee

Salt Yard Cafe & Bar
