MORE LOBSTER??? So Much Delicious Seafood in Portland, Maine!! (RV East Coast Road Trip)

We are absolutely loving Maine!! Portland was not originally part of the plan but we decided that we had to visit! First stop in the morning is the Portland Head Light... we call it a lighthouse, but I guess the technical name is head light... who knew! It is a beautiful spot and we enjoyed walking around the park, being brave and climbing down on the rock cliff and walking out on the rock beach. It is so different than anywhere we have been before... and we love it!
Next up, we head down to the old town and the harbour for... you guessed it... more lobster! We find the coolest fresh seafood shop too. Here you can buy whole or fillet fish, oysters, and of course, lobster... all caught fresh right offshore. We were soooo tempted to buy some but decided to hold off and come back later. But we are hungry so it is time for lunch!
We chose the Porthole Restaurant that has been on the harbour for almost 100 years. And the most amazing thing happened... we see boats pulling up to the restaurant and bringing freshly caught lobster inside. It does not get any fresher than that! Needless to say, it was an amazing lunch...

You guys did an excellent job portraying Portland, Maine! So glad you enjoyed your time in our beautiful state 😍

[@jadelynmay]

My dad was a lighthouse keeper in Virginia for the Coast Guard. If I remember correctly, a Head Light is the head indicator of mainland and/or port when there are multiple lighthouses within a certain radius.

[@jandsaden]

So glad you had a great time in Portland and it's environs. We live in Portland and have been here for over 40 years. It's kind of surreal to see places we're very familiar with in your video. The Porthole is definitely one of the great places to eat at when you're here. As far as why the Portland Headlight is called a headlight and not a lighthouse, it's one of custom. The lighthouse sits on the Portland headland, which has been shortened to just Portland head. Instead of thinking of it as a headlight, think of it as The Light at Portland Head. You are right there are a number of lighthouses in Portland harbor. The lighthouse you saw across the channel that you couldn't get to is called Ram Island Lighthouse. That light paired with The Headlight (locals like to shorten things up) mark the entrance to the harbor. If you took a boat up through that shipping channel, the next light you would see is the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse that is at the end of a 900 foot breakwater. That, in turn, leads you to Bug Light, a very small non-operational lighthouse that sits in a spot that back during World War II was used to build Liberty ships (Re: Rosie the Riveter). And that's just the beginning. Lots of history in what might be one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. Glad you took the time to pay us a visit! Ya'all come back now, ya hear?!

[@Cruise_227]

I'm from Portland as well (West end) I agree it's so cool to see our city through the lens of this great couple! Their cruise videos are great!

[@harrismagoonstunes107]

Portland Head Light is so called, because the piece of land it sits on is called “Portland Head”. Thus, Portland Head light.

[@DankUrbanBoss]

I’m way to high to be watching y’all eat this but I love it!

[@guitarkis4969]

Living 20 minutes from Portland, I'm always happy to see people "from away" visit and enjoy our state. Just from watching your video, you both seem like naturals to live here. Thanks for posting this great video for others to see just a tiny bit of what we have to offer.

[@jonathanbowen923]

Both of you have convinced me to drive up to Maine from Florida. Excellent presentation and my mouth was drooling the whole time. The tacos looked great and the Lobsters as well. You guys are living a dream and am happy for both of you. Your husband is really cool. Looked really good when you ate the Lobster roll. Better than being on a cruise ship. You guys take care, enjoy your adventures, and watch out for Headlights. Ha Ha. Take care my friends. Tampa.👍🏻🥰🙋‍♂️🎄❄️☃️🇺🇸

[@sandymackendrick6135]

Jason you are really getting good at your videography, sound, you really know what to point the camera at and Alisa is just a natural spokesperson (you too). I’ve never wanted to visit Maine more 🤩😍

[@EECCTravels]

Ahh thank you Sandy that’s refreshing to hear! Your the best! ❤️

[@jackilocke2459]

I am sitting here, watching and drooling at the same time! There is nothing better than a Maine lobster! Love that you are in my home state! Enjoy!

[@marybernier4578]

You can also drink the juice that comes out of the 🦞 I live in central Maine

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Love the honest food reviews,you guys are cranking out some good content,keep it up you have earned my vote 👍

[@debramcfarland6811]

I grew up in Maine and still live here! The way life should be!

[@jacc9311]

My husband and I were born and raised in Maine….love lobster! Portland Headlight is a beautiful place…nothing like going there when the fog is rolling in and the fog horns are blowing….we love our state of Maine!

[@hislosstwo]

The one in the distance is sort of a jetty it’s attached to land. Great video

[@dawnlinnell6495]

I love that I live in New England and can drive a few short hours to see all that natural beauty. Not that my home here on Cape Cod isn't beautiful either, lol. So glad you guys loved it up here in the North East. Hope you plan to come back and visit again soon!

[@mitchellmadness222]

My husband and I just added Maine to the list! I've always wanted to go, but these videos convinced him, too!

[@lindsaykousgaard555]

The quality of your vlogs recently is out of this world amazing! Seamless! The shots, the music, the effortless flow - I love them so much! So talented ❤️

[@EECCTravels]

Awe thanks Lindsay I really appreciate that! Hope to see y’all again soon! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

[@mobettaloretta44]

Jason was going to town on them lobster!!! I would have done my best to get amongst em too.

[@jeffreyleohner3247]

Nice video! I’m from Portland, my wife and I will be flying back home on October 10th, coming in from San Antonio,Texas! Going to see my Mom, and vacation, but just to let these two nice bloggers know, and anyone else who cares, Portland Headlight is in the town of Cape Elizebeth, Maine, not Portland, approximately 15 miles from Portland! 🎃🍁🦞🫐

[@mainegreengrower4209]

glad you guys came..cheers

[@wilder1642]

OMG you guys went to Bayleys!!! AWESOME . . it is sooo cool in the summer . . you would LOVE the adult pool with beer, drinks, snacks, live music and the pool overlooks the water in the distance with fireworks once a week. The trolley is complimentary (plus tip) shuttle to Old Orchard Beach. Glad you had a great time on the South Maine Coast :) !

[@idospas1]

My state, so glad you guys enjoyed your visit. Wonderful video thank you for sharing

[@bethbianuni1544]

The lighthouse that you visited is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. It was also built under the directive of George Washington,. I was there in June and drove the coast of Massachusetts and Maine....

[@lethamurray3536]

Very cool! Beautiful scenery!

[@eileennorton5993]

Please come back. The lakes are awesome! So much more to do and see. Come in summer. Sebago Lake state park starts accepting applications for camping in January.

[@kevinburke3718]

I like your sweatshirt in live about 50 miles from cape may enjoy your trip

[@shannonmarcelle8479]

We met you two on the New Year's cruise on the Jubilee back by the ice cream spot. Planning a road trip out of Boston to Maine, at the end of July. So glad to see your videos of this beautiful state.

[@ifuloikano]

My favorite spot as well, the Portland HeadLight. I now live in Portland, just moved here a couple of days ago. I used to live in Boston. I am loving it here in Maine.

[@ronaldbernier462]

OMG your making me miss Maine so much. Thank you, I’m loving these vlogs….👍👍👍

[@Cruise_227]

I live in Portland and at 4:52 you passed one of the most famous ice cream shops around! You'll have to come back for a visit!!

[@Tjlewis214]

Thanks for coming... You hit Portland on a perfect day... Perfect Maine day....

[@patriciaspates6856]

I AM JUST THRILLED THAT YOU GUYS ARE ENJOYING THE COLD AND SNOW BEING FROM LOUISIANA IM FROM IOWA WERE THERE IS BELOW 0 TEMP AND SNOW DRIFTS HIGHER THAN CARS AT TIMES SO ENJOY I LOVE THIS VLOG❤❤

[@barbfunke8311]

Oh man!! I drooled on my phone!! OMG YUMMMM!😛😜😛

[@betsyrose9233]

Looks wonderful! I love Portland Maine. You guys picked a nice time to sightsee .Stay well and safe travel’s enjoyed watching as always.

[@billsulli7336]

It's great to see the prospective of people visiting Maine!!! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@momentsofadventure]

This is SO on my bucket list!!! LOVE IT! The lobster looks AMAZING!

[@kimcarver195]

Looks so beautiful and the food so yummy...please keep sharing. ❤️ You two look like you're having a blast and a unforgettable experience!

[@karengriswold4537]

I have to say, that with every video, I love it more and more to watch the wonderment in your eyes over things that we here in New England just take for granted; Alisa's face when she she's the pretty leaves, the rocky coast of Maine, going out for fresh seafood, the ocean tides....just normal stuff to us. I imagine that my first trip to NOLA would be the same. You know you're eating a lobster correctly if it's dripping down your arms and chin, so Bravo Jason! Excellent job!! I got a kick over the" headlight", lol. Isn't she a beaut, Clark? Portland Head is a place... which has a light, thus Portland Head Light. You two are simply the best!

[@debbieamaral1315]

You want to find clam chowder in a bread bowl. It is fantastic

[@landccruises]

Love the lighthouse! Fantastic video!

[@valeriebarris4825]

Thats good meat when you devained the tail . that top part of the tail.The tail flippers have a little meat in there to. From Maine.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Love lobster, it looked so good. Nice looking place. Thanks for taking us there.

[@teresalewelling7318]

Loved it

[@lisahansen8455]

Oh my goodness your video brought back so many memories. I wrote to you on your last video that my grandfather was from the cape. When I saw the lighthouse in ME it reminded me that my grandfather manned the lighthouse at the top of the Cape in Provincetown and he worked on the wharf filleting fish as the fishing boats came in. He showed me a 650 pond tuna once!! And then you showed Bayley’s campground and I stayed there with my grandparents and family friends. I can’t believe it is still there. That was over 40 years ago!!!! We had taken a 2 week camping trip on route 1 thru New Hampshire coast and Maine coast and all the way up to the top of Maine. Bar harbor and Boothbay harbor are nice too. Thanks for the memories!!!

[@derbypeach]

Such a fan. Love your vlog!

[@danielwampler7375]

Great video.

[@Joanne-yl2sx]

Beautiful country we have ❤️

[@klm0628]

That drone footage of the Portland headlight is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! that was one of the coolest experiences that we had when we were up there too… Plus I had the best breakfast of my life at that porthole restaurant!! 🤤 I cannot wait to go back one day!! I love that you guys are closing down pretty much every place that you stop!! ;-)

[@lindaroberts710]

Hey guys first time watching thank you very much awesome job showing off my home state of Maine

[@kendrawaterbury2328]

I’m here cringing as the meat in the flippers got thrown in the bucket….and the red roe! It’s so yummy! Tastes like cheddar cheese! 🦞

[@lboutard]

This looks so good! You are killing me I must have the lobster from Maine!!!

[@briankish3757]

Isn't the Headlight area gorgeous? 💙

[@michellelyon3149]

We also love the cold water lobster in Maine but the fresh deep fried clams are to die for! Wish a local person would have pointed you in that direction! Our favorite is a restaurant in Wells ME, Fisherman’s Catch, omg so yummy!

[@christinescafati6485]

We were just in Portland last week. Yum.

[@eprohoda]

this is ffantastic !! ))

[@wesballard7602]

I honest to Goodness don't know how y'all dont Weigh 300 pounds LOL. Thank you so much for this one, my mouth was watering the whole time. Great Job!!!

[@dmobrecht109]

You should come to Michigan. Lots to see and do. Surrounded by the Great Lakes.

[@chelseaparker5825]

Just ate at the porthole last weekend! Of course while in Maine have to have a lobster roll!!

[@lisarobison3395]

I've got to stop watching your vids before I have breakfast!! I'm craving a lobster roll but yogurt & fruit will have to do.😄

[@kennethshaw8388]

The food segments of your videos are as good or better than any professionally produced shows. I can see the pure enjoyment in each bite. I was a bit disappointed at 10:45 when the waitress dumped the roe (red eggs) into the shell bucket. That is one of my favorite parts along with the tomalley. I don't toss much into the bucket except for the gills, shell, stomach, eyes, and a few odd internal pieces. Even the ganglia (nervous tissue) is edible and quite good. Some don't eat the tomalley (green stuff/liver and pancreas) since it is said to contain toxins. Maine lobster is worth the trip. There's nothing that tops a steamed Maine lobstah dipped in buttah.

[@vonniebench]

It's like Heaven! So jealous :)

[@jeanguillemette8750]

I like what you do I hope one day to see you make videos in Quebec Canada continue your good work

[@EECCTravels]

Yes!! We plan to RV all around Canada one summer! Probably 23 or 24.

[@TravelswithTommyandLori]

I can't wait to see what you do with the sand you've collected! We'd need a bigger RV for the rocks... I collect them and that beach would have had to go home with us! 😂 I'm (Lori) brand new to clam chowder. I'd never try it before because I thought I wouldn't like it, but recently started eating clams and figured if I like those, I might like chowder... and that's where I'm at now. That chowder looked amazing! The fish tacos and lobster did too. Love the new ink, Jason!!!!

[@denahoover8341]

Love the fresh lobster 🦞 in Portland ,Maine

It’s called Portland Head Light because it’s located on Portland Head. Former Mainer

The Portland Head Light is a lighthouse built on the Portland Head. Stop confusing yourself. Glad you learned about the ebb and flow of the tides.

[@Nin10doWards]

I've played at the porthole it's ok I guess lol

[@stevebartley628]

at a Cape Cod restaurant, you ordered the lobster by the pound. .I ordered a 1 1/2 pounder. The lobster came and I thought it looked a little big. I got ready to eat it but before I took a bite, the waitress swooped in and took it away. It was about a 3 pounder that was someone else’s order!

[@patriciaspates6856]

THAT LOBSTER WAS BIGGER THAN JASON😂😂

[@garyzeiger172]

Really , Really ? You just HAD to go to my summer holiday vacation spot AND stay at Bayleys Campground resort , that place is packed in the summer , Gaelan Bayley and family have been taking care of us for years there , its grown way too big lol, and just a short rip down the road to pine point , how was the water ?

Love your Content! I have a question, I love the idea of purchasing an RV and started following you when you first purchased your RV being new to the RV life how are you finding the experience? have you encountered problems, is there anything you would change about the rig you purchased, have you had quality issues? I would love a video on your RV travel experiences, choice of Rig including things you like and things that gave you challenges, how you experienced navigating to campsites along your route. From the videos you post you are a great couple, have a great attitude, enjoyable to watch and seem to make the most of what ever you do. Great Job! If you decide to travel back to CT. again please go to Stew Leonard's, Lyman Orchards, and Mystic Seaport.
