The little sitting area of a mom and pop gift shop next to The Lobster Shack at Two Lights State Park, just south of Portland, Maine. With this beautiful yard under you, the flowers around you and the spray of the Atlantic Ocean smashing the granite slabs in front of you - IF YOU CAN'T RELAX HERE, YOUR WOUND TO TIGHT !!!
One of the two lighthouses behind these beautiful flowers at Two Lights State Park just south of Portland, Maine
The Portland Head Lighthouse, just south of Portland, Maine. Not to miss if you are anywhere close ! There was even a lobster boat just a few yards offshore setting/checking his lobster traps. We have seen a lot of lighthouses, but this has to be one of the most scenic.
Near the Lobster Shack at Two Lights State Park just south of Portland, Maine on Cape Elizabeth. Grab some crab cakes or lobster bites at the Lobster Shack, then set on the tables outside and drink in the views. The Atlantic Ocean waves are crashing into the huge slabs of granite on one side then turn around and see the beauty of two identical lighthouses behind you. NOT TO MISS !

The inside of Arabica, a cafe in downtown Portland, Maine-- the vibe is friendly and relaxing and the staff knows coffee. Grab a newspaper from the independent bookstore down the street, order a machiatto to stay, and fall asleep in the big windows at the front of the store.
More from the coffee series. This is a very good machiatto from the Arabica cafe in Portland, Maine. I've had better drinks in San Francisco and New York City, but this stands up very well and is worth the trip to downtown Portland.
I visited three or four times during my last stay in Portland, and found the espresso drinks to be consistent-- plus, the cafe is well run, the barristas are friendly (and actually care about the coffee), and the vibe is relaxing. Grab a paper from the bookstore just down the street and waste a few hours.
