I will be completely honest and say that visiting Portland (Maine) was a completely whimsical and last-minute decision. First, I found an amazing flight deal on Skyscanner with Frontier Airlines about a week prior. Second, it’s been in upper 90s and humid in Central Florida, and I was eyeing the mid-60s temperatures in Maine. Third, Maine was one of the then US states I hadn’t visited yet, so I’d be killing many birds with one stone.
I was also excited that my best friend would be able to meet up with me for three days, and that I wouldn’t need an accessible taxi (there are none) to get around. The result? I’m utterly and completely in love with Portland, from its lighthouses and stunning rocky coast to its art, architecture, and history to its mouth-watering lobster and blueberries. If you’ve never considered Portland (Maine) as an accessible vacation destination, that’s about to change! Here are over a dozen awesome wheelchair accessible things to do during your visit.
