My favorite part of the city was by far the coastal area known as Cape Elizabeth. One of Maine’s most famous lighthouses was built here in 1791, and gives some great scenery along Maine’s rocky coast. The surrounding photos are all from the park surrounding the lighthouse.
These two photos are also from the same park. The large double crested commorant is one of many birds in the area. Above are the remains of an 19th century mansion.
Maine is famous for its seafood, especially in Portland. There is a seafood market where you can go in and handpick all the seafood you want like most towns along the ocean. But the city is known for having a large variety of seafood available in the markets and in restaurants for reasonable prices. The surrounding photos are from the seafood market area, with the yachts just a few blocks away.
