Thirty-one cities, towns, and regions across four continents, spanning 10,000+ miles around the globe — these are the other places called “Portland.”
We all know which one is best, but here are some that gave us serious wanderlust:
- Portland, Jamaica: White sand, crystal-clear bays, gorgeous tropical hikes + everything in between — this parish has all of our favorite sights and then some, including the world-famous Blue Lagoon.
- The Isle of Portland, United Kingdom: Connected to the mainland by a tombolo, residents of this small island off the southern England coast pride themselves on their sailing heritage; crews take to the waters every year to compete in races. The small community is tightly-knit and shares quirky traditions, like not saying the word “rabbit” because of the associated taboo.
- Portland, Maine: Our namesake on the East Coast is many travelers’ favorite seafood destination — not to mention an ideal spot to spend a summer weekend, with its pristine beaches and incredible views peppered throughout the city.
