South Portland Anchorage
South Portland Anchorage sits in Casco Bay, putting you right across the water from Portland's working waterfront with views of the city skyline and the historic lighthouses that dot the bay. The setting feels genuinely Maine — sea breezes, lobster boats passing by, and easy access to one of New England's most celebrated food and arts scenes just a short dinghy ride away. South Portland itself has a laid-back, locals-first character that contrasts nicely with busier Portland just across the channel.
