We'll do the usual Portland trip for lobstah one day, lean toward nature stuff the other days. Any must see or must do's in the area? Don't mind driving a bit. I like Lobstermans Wharf on East Boothbay. Nice boat ride and good lobster feast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Mountains area really isn’t all that far away. Head up towards Fryeburg then west from there to Conway. At that point you are fairly close to the Kanc, which has some great swimming spots along side it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a trip to 5 Islands Lobster in Georgetown and combine it with a visit to the beach at Reid state park which is only 2 or 3 miles down the road on the same peninsula. Frosty's in Brunswick is only open 4 days a week but makes great donuts. https://apps.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/doc/parksearch/details.pl?park_id=13 https://fiveislandslobster.com/ https://www.frostysdonuts.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even rent a little boat next to five island lobster and putter around. Reid State Park is spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit up the old port in Portland for some fine seafood, Port Hole Restaurant, Jay's Oyster Bar Or (Dimillow's Floating Restaurant, Bit Pricey Though), Head down to Old Orchard Beach in Scarborough or you can canoe the salt marsh on the way into there.

If you have access to a boat, take it up the Songo river, through the locks, across Brandy Pond, and dock in Naples for lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying MXZ Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Thanks for the advice everyone. We'll definitely check out some of these. Probably not the boats though, can say I've spent less than 2 hours on a boat in my life. And no time at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted Sunday at 11:28 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:28 AM "Upper ridge continues to dominate as increasing SW flow brings more humid air into region, but not as oppressive as what we experienced earlier in summer. Additionally, gradient remains weak enough to allow for sea breezes along both coasts Mon and probably Tue as well. Combination of highs in low to mid 90s inland and dewpoints climbing into mid 60s will yield heat index close to 95 degrees, especially Tue, but it still looks marginal at this point in parts of CT and Merrimack Valleys as well as northern RI and interior eastern MA."

TheClimateChanger Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Made it up to 100F at Dixfield, Maine yesterday (reported as today's high due to morning observation time). Several other locations in the State reached 99F. While falling well shy of the monthly state record of 104F, that was the 1st 100F high temperature observed in the State of Maine in the month of August since August 15, 2001, when it reached 101F at Livermore Falls 1 E. I believe that was also a morning observation, as the prior day had a high of 100F at Fryeburg, Maine. In fact, since the record heat wave of 1975, only one other date besides yesterday & the date(s) in 2002... on August 9, 2001, Fryeburg reached 100F.

Saw NWS Portland reached 100F too, but that was the one in Oregon, not the office in Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of choices obviously and don't pass up Chinatown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
