There are a ton of hikes near here and while I know some, I do not know all.
There are three mini golf spots within minutes of here, but we have some of our favorites. We also always enjoy the Town beach which we have left passes for in this book. I cannot express enough how fun The Lucky Catch tour is in Portland. Our good friend Captain Tom runs it and we go every year. Tell him you came from The Hamilton House in Maine!
