🌊 Portland, Maine Day Trip from Boston | Lighthouses + Seafood! 🦞

Finally warming up—perfect time for a day trip! Just 2.5 hours from Boston, Portland (Maine’s largest city) is ideal for seaside vibes and fresh seafood. Here’s my recap: 🗺️ Itinerary: Portland Head Light 🏰 Gorgeous lighthouse in Fort Williams Park! Atlantic views + historic ruins = epic photos 📸. Best at sunset on clear days 🌅. Free entry | Parking: $6/2 hours. Bard Coffee ☕ Local favorite downtown—chill vibe! Ordered a hot latte (beans were slightly acidic). Great for a quick stop or takeaway. The Holy Donut 🍩 Portland’s viral potato-based donuts! Toasted Coconut + Chocolate Stout = crispy outside, chewy inside! Go early—flavors sell out! ISF Trading 🐟 Hidden gem for fresh seafood! Maine uni, sweet shrimp, sashimi—cheaper than restaurants! Look for the roller door marked "Office" 🚪. Chinese-speaking owner 👩🍳—super friendly! Oakhurst Strawberry Milk 🥛 Pink nostalgia in a bottle! 🍓 Icy-cold = perfect refreshment. Local dairy brand since 1921—find it at Hannaford! The Honey Paw ⚠️ (Think twice!) Asian fusion fail 😓… Over-salted noodles + tiny lobster sandwich 🥪. Added 5% "admin fee" (supposedly for kitchen staff wages 🤨). #BostonLife #Maine #Portland #DayTrip #SeafoodLover #Lighthouse #NewEnglandTravel 🦞📸
