Eating & Exploring in Portland, Maine

We set off from North Conway, and in just over an hour, we arrived in Portland—touted as the best food city in New England! 🌊 Old Orchard Beach Think of it as Portland’s version of Dameisha Beach—most visitors are families out building sandcastles and chasing waves. There’s a pier in the middle; head to the restaurant at the very end, grab a drink, and sit facing the ocean. With the sea breeze in your hair and the sound of people laughing and playing around you, time seems to slow down a little 🥤. 🏴‍☠️ Three Lighthouses (South to North) Portland Head Light Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse Portland Breakwater Light Each has its own charm, but Portland Head Light is by far the most popular. On Saturday, we drove around the parking lot several times before finally finding a spot! 🍴 Popular Restaurants Central Provision: We arrived around 6 PM, only to be told that without a reservation, the only available seats were standing spots by the stairs in the basement… We decided to skip it 😅. Becky’s Diner: It’s like a casual seafood shack, and it’s super popular—even after 9 PM, every table was full! The must-try here is their Clam Chowder—easily the best we’ve had so far 🥣. Luke’s Lobster: Famous for its lobster rolls. We ordered a combo with three flavors, and they were delicious! But the biggest surprise was their lobster bisque—rich and cheesy, we loved it so much we ordered a second bowl 🦞. Mr. Tuna: The highlight of our food trip! We originally planned to eat oysters at Eventide across the street, but were told the wait would be 1.5 to 2 hours… Then we spotted Mr. Tuna right across the road and walked in with no wait. Their sushi rolls were fantastic, and the tuna sashimi was incredibly fresh—melting in your mouth. We loved it so much we went back two nights in a row 🍣! Portland is truly a hidden gem—relaxed, safe, and filled with amazing food. We all agreed: we’ll be back next weekend for more eating and exploring! #PortlandFood #PortlandTravel #MaineLobster #PortlandLighthouses #MaineTravel #PortlandMaine
