    Hiking

    The Atlantic bay off Portland is called 'Casco Bay'. The approximately 520 sq km bay is part of the Gulf of Maine and lies between Cape Elizabeth south of Portland and Cape Small, a peninsula in eastern Maine that extends far into the Atlantic. Six inhabited islands lie in the bay and can be reached by ferry all year round.

    You can find detailed information about the bay on the website of the 'Friends of Casco Bay - Casco BAYKEEPER'.

    Casco Bay is an inlet of the Gulf of Maine. The bay gets its name from its shape. The Portuguese explorers called the area "Bahia de Cascos", which means Bay of Helmets.
