At the top of the West End is where you can find this lovely promenade boasting the historic mansions of the city. You can walk along the promenade while enjoying the view of the city and historic houses below. Don’t be afraid to walk down some of the side streets near the promenade, you can see some pretty amazing historic properties designed by the famous John Calvin Stevens around the area.

You can actually walk all the way here if you take the Eastern Trail that starts at the bottom of Harborview memorial park and continues down Commercial street. It's a small beach that is dog friendly during morning and evening hours.

Our favorite beach in Maine. Be aware of the tide schedule because this is a hard spot to visit during high tide as the beach is completely underwater. However, this beach is absolutely stunning. Great surfing here as the waves get pretty big (for Maine!). With the tide schedule in mind, get there as early as possible so you can find a spot to park or take a taxi out there because the parking lot fills up fast and there is no street parking. Another idea is to get there right at 11am when the surfers are leaving and wait in the parking lot line to snag a spot in the lot.

If you love crowded beaches and a Jersey Shore-type beach pier, you should come see the craziness that is Old Orchard Beach. It is quite a scene here in the summer and is very touristy. They have a late night scene here with many bars on the pier and surrounding area as well.

Casco Bay Lines Maine island ferry with service throughout Casco Bay from Portland. A scenic 20-minute ferry ride to Peaks island is boat loads of fun, and after renting bicycles right when you get off ferry you can do the island loop and breathe in the beautiful views. A great way to have a true Maine experience is to absorb a little island life. Finish your day with a lobster roll at the Cockeyed Gull restaurant while watching the sunset with Portland's working harbor as a back drop. Fantastic.

Take the ferry to this island and rent bicycles or a golf cart once you are there. Ride all the way around the island and see some of the most stunning views of the islands off the coast. There are a couple places to eat right when you get off the ferry that are really great and boast stunning views.

This walkway can be accessed from the apartment if you walk down to Harborview Memorial park and continue to where State street meets York street to access the bridge. There is a walkway that will take you across the bridge and you can pick up the greenbelt from there. It's a nice walk through some paved walkways if you go right off the bridge or if you go left, it will take you all the way to Bug Light Park where you can have a picnic on the water and walk the breakwater pathway to the lighthouse. This trail is also suitable for bikes.
