Pine Point is near Portland which is the largest city in Maine. Within a mile or two of the house there are amusement parks, arcades, and water slides as well as an Audubon center where you may rent canoes and explore the largest marsh in the state. This area draws many kayakers and those who love to watch shorebirds - egrets, sandpipers, killdeer, plovers, and terns. Many renters bring along bikes to enjoy on quiet streets and dirt roads.There are many golf courses nearby not to mention movie theaters, harness racing, and auto racing. Close by is Ocean Park which is a Chattauqua community hosting world famous speakers and providing cultural activities which include musical, visual arts and crafts.
