PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 20, 2020
In this pandemic summer, when staycations are preferred by many, there’s no reason why a day trip to a nearby island can’t feel exotic, or at least restful and rejuvenating. It’s a luxury we Mainers probably don’t take advantage of enough. You can start your island-hopping planning by checking out the website of Casco Bay Lines, which runs ferries from Portland to about a half dozen Casco Bay Islands daily. If you’d rather not wait at a ferry terminal and then sit with others on a ferry, you can always drive to Bailey Island.
