FAQs
Bring a water bottle, footwear that can get wet, a light jacket (not cotton), and sun protection. You can also bring a camera, snacks, and binoculars.
Wear non-cotton layers (like fleece, nylon, or wool). It can feel cooler on the water than on land, and you may get slightly damp from sea spray or dripping paddles.
Use the free all-day lot halfway down the hill on Cutter Street, about 50 yards from Portland Paddle. If it’s full, look for free street parking in nearby residential neighborhoods. Spaces beside Portland Paddle are limited to 5 minutes or two hours, and some are reserved for vehicles with boat trailers.
