Portland Waterfront


The Portland Waterfront provides a distinctive fusion of tradition and innovation thanks to its more than 350-year history as a hub for shipping, fishing, trade, and travel. Portland Harbor, the largest city in Maine, has a truly working waterfront that combines private and public piers to support a broad range of commercial marine activity. With its waterfront eateries, historic buildings, harbor tours, and domestic and international ferry service, the Portland Waterfront also promotes tourism. On the waterfront, work and recreation coexist alongside an intriguing and changing variety of uses.
