Great Chebeague Island is a lovely summer and year-round community in Casco Bay Maine. It is easily accessible by ferry from both Portland and Yarmouth, Maine. The Island boasts a beautiful 9 hole golf course overlooking the inner bay. There is a tennis club, a recreation center, a general store, a boatyard/marina, a post office, a library, school, grange hall, and Church. The Chebeague Recreation Center, a quick walk from our house, has a heated outdoor pool, tennis court, fitness and gym facilities, playground and athletic field. The Rec Center offers swim lessons for children on a weekly basis, as well as other recreational and craft activities for kids.
There are several beautiful beaches on the Island, one of the nicest of which is about two football fields from our front door. 'The Hook', as it's called, is a sandy beach facing easterly toward open ocean, other islands, and the city of Portland (come in early July and see Portland's 4th of July fireworks across the bay).
