Nestled between Maine's forest-covered mountains and spectacular rugged coast, Portland is a rough-hewn gem of New England.

Experience Maine in the Greater Portland Area

Maine offers unspoiled landscapes, beautiful vistas, succulent lobster, stately lighthouses, outdoor adventures, exceptional shopping, and much, much more.   You can find these pleasures, from the Casco Bay region of Greater Portland to Freeport, all within a 15 mile radius surrounding the state's largest city - Portland. 

Sure, there's more to see throughout the state of Maine, from Bar Harbor's Acadia National Park to mile-high Mt. Khatadin in Baxter State Park, but right here, in Greater Portland, you can experience a bit of what everyone's talking about, a small piece of "everything Maine".  From mountains to lakes, city to country, inland to coast, nature to nightlife, welcome to Greater Portland's Casco Bay.
