Yes Sandman, you can walk to Piggies from Tim Bamboo. It’s about a ten minute walk at the “point” where the road splits. You are also in walking distance of downtown itself. Once in town you will easily find the mall. Directly across from the mall is the gate entrance to the marina. Lovely area. You would definitely like the bar at Marybelle’s on the pier.
My newest local hangout is Erfa’s place. Unfortunately it’s not within walking distance, but a very easy 10 minute drive from Timbamboo. You would head east, going towards Boston Bay. Her place is at the bend in Dragon Bay. I haven’t uploaded my pictures so I don’t’ have one to post for you. It’s a tiny place on the left hand side next to a side road and the house on the corner of that road is white and green. You can park right out in front. She and her daughter run it. Oh man I had a blast listening to the older gentlemen who come there to chat nonsense. Hung out there many evenings.
The new bar & grill in Boston looks nice. Didn’t get to check it out but I heard good things about it. It’s right next to the jerk center.
My absolute favorite chill spot is in Long Bay. The large, wood bar/restaurant that sits on the seaside. It’s a solid brown structure with a wrap around porch. Tables and also set up on the beach. Can’t miss it.
Do take Mrs. Sandman to Frenchman’s Cove for some Port Antonio pampering.
Alas, the only place of all the places I’m familiar with in Portland that I can’t recommend is Dickies Best Kept Secret I’ll leave it at that.
I’m so excited for you and Mrs. Sandman. I really am and truly looking forward to your pictures and hearing how you felt about Portland. Pack small umbrellas as it’s been a little rainy there off and on.
