The Eastern Promenade stretches along the eastern edge of the Portland peninsula, overlooking Casco Bay. It is easily accessible from downtown Portland and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.

Visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of sailboats, fishing boats, and ferries navigating the waters, as well as views of nearby lighthouses and coastal landmarks.
Portland ObservatoryPass-by Only
The Portland Observatory is situated on Munjoy Hill, providing panoramic views of Portland Harbor, Casco Bay, and the surrounding coastline. The hillside location offers a strategic vantage point for observing maritime activities and signaling incoming ships. Built in 1807 by Captain Lemuel Moody, the Portland Observatory is the only known remaining maritime signal tower in the United States. It was constructed as a private enterprise to provide a communication system for merchants and shipowners to track approaching vessels and facilitate trade in Portland's busy harbor.

Similar to the Eastern Promenade, the Western Promenade offers stunning views of Casco Bay, with vistas of islands, sailboats, and coastal landscapes. The park's elevated position provides sweeping views of the surrounding area, making it a popular spot for sightseeing and photography. The Western Promenade is home to several historic landmarks and monuments, including the Western Cemetery, a historic burial ground dating back to the early 19th century. Visitors can explore the cemetery's picturesque grounds and learn about Portland's history through its gravestones and memorials. It is also home to historic mansions formally occupied by Portland's elite.
