3 Best Day Trips from Portland, Maine: Ogunquit, Freeport, and the Kennebunks | Condé Nast Traveler

"Anchored by the world retail headquarters of outdoor equipment and gear outfitter L.L. Bean, Freeport Village Station is a stable of discount designer shops and independent boutiques. It also has worked hard with the Town of Freeport to maintain the area's history and rural nature, so even while the outlets are all about shopping, all you have to do is walk five minutes off of Main Street and you're among historic homes. Stroll a few more minutes away, and you're in the wilderness of Casco Bay." - Alexandra Hall
