Portland Harbor & the inner islands, Maine

Portland & Casco Bay

Portland's harbor approaches and the nearby islands of Casco Bay in one close coastal portrait.

From the Portland waterfront, Casco Bay opens into channels around Peaks Island and the Diamond islands. Spring Point Ledge Light marks the harbor approach, with smaller lights tracing ledges and island passages. This portrait crop keeps the working harbor and its nearby island waters together.
