Great way to visit the nearby islands of Casco Bay. I highly recommend taking the "Mail Boat" for an inexpensive half day tours of many islands! Another option is to take the Peaks Island Ferry for the day. Here you can experience the Maine island life by walking the island or renting a golf cart by the hour!
