Willard Beach is thought to be the coldest beach in Casco Bay! A most refreshing swim! And it is only a two minute walk from our house! If you love dogs, walk down and get your fix from 7-9am and 7-9pm all summer long!

We regularly like to walk 1.5 miles along the water towards this petite lighthouse and a gorgeous view of the Portland skyline! It’s especially pretty at night with the city lights shimmering on the water! Also a great place to watch the sunset..
