Portland
Antiques for the city dwellers.
Are you into vinyl? This is the spot for you! Lots of great record finds here… and a good selection of other curated antiques as well.
The Merchant Company
Open House shares a space with the iconic Flea-for-All. Arguably better deals here, though. ;)
Open House
A Portland institution in the heart of downtown. Absolutely no excuse not to stop here.
Portland Flea-for-All
South of Portland
About an hours drive south or less.
If you're in southern Maine, you'd be absolutely bonkers not to stop into this gem. The 150+ perfect reviews speak for themselves!

Have I mentioned that Kennebunk/Arundel are antiquing hotspots? You'll easily fill a day stopping at all the fun spots here, including this literal warehouse filled with antique goodies.
Antiques USA
And another antique hotspot in the village of Arundel! What a treat!
Arundel Antique Village Group Shop
If your tastes in antiques trend higher value, this is a great place to stop. So much top notch American craftsmanship in one place!

Just south of Portland is Bonny Read. A must stop if you're visiting South Portland.
Bonny Read
Heading even further south, Gurley in Scarborough is a must visit. Make it a lunch date with a drive to Pine Point for a lobster roll at Bayley's Lobster Pound.
Gurley Antiques Gallery
North of Portland
As we say in Maine, just a short drive up north (list kept within an hours drive).
You truly never know what you'll find at a good old Yankee flea market, and this indoor market in Brunswick doesn't disappoint. Stop by the local bagel shop downstairs for one of the best bagels available in Maine.
Brunswick Waterfront Flea Market
Now we're getting to the real stuff…. this is a genuine antique outdoor flea market of the type Maine is famous for. This is a seasonal, mostly weekend operation, so check socials for updates on openings. Pro tip: Mainers love to dicker (negotiate), ...
Montsweag Flea Market
If you're spending time in Freeport, check out the Freeport Emporium on Route 1. Super fun spot to browse between stops at the top-notch local breweries (Mast Landing, Maine Beer Company, and Goodfire all within about 5 minutes-drive).
Freeport Emporium
Right next door to the Freeport Emporium is the Wicked Goods Mercantile. Hey, you've already stopped… might as well visit this cute little antique shop while you're there.
Maine Wicked Goods Mercantile
The shop is small but jammed with great high-quality antiques. Keep an eye on socials for estate sales (this is a wealthy area, and the estate sales here are WOW). Very short drive from Portland, so awesome if you have limited time, but have already ...
Foreside Antiques
West of Portland
The often-underrated direction. Maine has gorgeous mountains/lakes as well as the ocean!
Absolutely one of the best in the region with fair pricing (no southern Maine upsell here) and a wide selection. Worth a drive for sure.
Dunbar and Sons Antiques & Vintage
Perfect place to stop on a scenic drive out to western Maine.
House of Shabby Chic & Antiques
Is it even antiquing if you're not shopping in a barn? Old New England treasures in a genuine Old New England treasure. The village of Naples is an absolute treat as well.
