Old Orchard Beach

Exploring Maine's Culinary Scene and Seafood Head south of Portland to Old Orchard Beach and swing by Joseph’s By The Sea. The waterfront restaurant features an open-air rooftop deck, providing customers with an unfettered view of the breaking waves while enjoying their meals. The MidCoast & Islands region is gaining national recognition for its abundance of oysters. The pristine tidal waters in the area are perfect for harvesting these tasty bivalves.

After a long, rainy, and wet summer, the sun is beginning to set earlier each day. The cornstalks and sunflowers stand tall, full of ripe ears of corn and big colorful blooms. It feels like fall in the cool mornings and evenings and like summer for a few warmer hours at midday. Change is in the air and all around us. Across the district, students and teachers are returning to school.
