VANITY--Trip to Maine

[AbolishCSEU]

Planning a trip to Old Orchard Beach Maine the end of August. Hubs has never been there. Looking for some recommendations on fishing charters, restaurants, etc.

We are big seafood fans! Will be arriving in Portland first.

[AbolishCSEU]

Any suggestions?

“Will be arriving in Portland first. Any suggestions?”

Avoid Portland.

And Lewiston.

Joseph’s by the Sea is a slightly pricey restaurant, but it’s usually a good, reliable choice. Seafood and more.

[beergarden]

LOL that too. Lewiston makes Portland look like a GOP convention.

DEET is your FRiend!!! Buy Deep Woods Off.

Fax me a dozen lobster rolls.

[mewzilla]

Bob’s Clam Hut. There’s one in Kittery, which we’ve been to and enjoyed, and one in Portland.

[lysie]

Only one dozen? Hubby would want a least two dozen. So very tasty!

All good places

In Portland

Haven’t been there in a while. Check if J’s Oyster Bar is still operating. On the docks, cheesy looking but a really great place.

Caddis the ancient one

We always stop at D’Amato’s deli in Portland (on the way to Tenants Harbor) every summer - just to buy their heroes for supper. They claim to have invented it.

Watching this thread closely.
The wife and I will be there in mid-July on the motorcycle. Plan on spending some time riding that area, including Old Orchard, and then catching the ferry out of Portland over to Yarmouth, NS. Riding from there to Halifax for a night and then on back thru New Brunswick to Maine.

nice!

[AbolishCSEU]

I should say “landing” in Portland then heading straight for Old Orchard

[New Perspective]

I live there, you have a lot to choose from. OOB is cleaned up a lot, much nicer now. Almost every place near the water will have good fresh seafood. Spend the day walking in the old port, too many restaurants to choose from. Make a day of going to Booth Bay Harbor. Save your money and buy lobsters from places that sell them live, some places will cook them for you for free. Restaurant will charge you $29.95 for twin lobsters with corn, you can get the same thing at Pine Tree Seafood in OOB for $12 without the corn. Enjoy.:)

And as others have said, avoid Lewiston, it's Black Hawk down in the parks now.

Any places we can vacation that don’t have Somalis?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I’m jealous!

New Harbor is great. We’ve stayed at Thompsons cottages. Across the inlet is Shaws indoor outdoor seafood and fresh lobster right off the boats. Outdoor dining has a firehose for cleanup.
