Casco Bay

Casco Bay is a region in Greater Portland, Maine. There are several islands of interest in this region. This is where the Maine coast begins. The islands are very laid back and it is where time stands still. Wooded islands, secluded coves and beaches. Cottages, sail boats, lobster boats and pleasure craft.
