Southern Maine

From Portland to the New Hampshire border, Southern Maine is many a visitor’s first experience here. With maritime history, lighthouses, awesome restaurants and great museums, Portland ME is a wonderful destination to visit. For vintage boardwalk fun Old Orchard Beach and Saco have you covered. To get that quintessential Maine experience, Kennebunkport is so very charming.

Did you know that Southern Maine is also where you’ll find Ogunquit, the LGBTQ capitol of Maine? This wonderful small town is full of life and culture with great restaurants, a renowned theater, LGBTQ events and it’s simply welcoming to all.

Sebago Lake, the many nature preserves and endless beach access areas also make Southern Maine a wonderful outdoors destination.
