Chebeague Island is a small island of the coast of Southern Maine To get there, you can take either the Casco Bay Lines ferry from Portland, Maine (the largest city in Maine) or the Chebeague Transportation Company Ferry from Cumberland (10 minutes north of Portland). Vehicles can be transported, but you don’t need one on the island. There is a taxi and free bicycle rental on the island, as well as a gorgeous hotel, golf course, restaurant, the “Clam Shack” (with the best onion rings anywhere), a museum, a general store, and on our road, a beautiful recreation center with a gym, pool, numerous activities, and a summer camp for children. Of course, there is a lobster pound with nearly unlimited reasonably priced lobster and clams for steaming.
If you wish, day trips can be made to other islands in Casco Bay, or back to the mainland for cultural activities in Portland, LLBean and shopping in Freeport, and an exciting list of summer activities and dining.
