Chebeague Island is an oceanside community in Cumberland County where routines are shaped by tides, ferry whistles, and neighborly traditions. Residents ride the year-round Chebeague Transportation Company ferry from Cousins Island, enjoy miles of shoreline for paddling and beachcombing, and keep tabs on services through the Town of Chebeague Island. Summer brings open-air gatherings; winter offers quiet, starry nights.
Families appreciate the island’s education and enrichment network. The Chebeague Island School supports early grades with project-based learning, while older students attend mainland schools through regional partnerships. The Chebeague Island Library hosts author talks and tech help, and the Chebeague Recreation Center offers a fitness room, classes, and a seasonal pool. Nature lovers explore preserves stewarded by the Chebeague & Cumberland Land Trust, and golfers savor seabreeze rounds at the island’s historic course. For visiting friends or a special dinner, the Chebeague Island Inn sets the scene with sweeping Casco Bay views.
Daily needs are accessible; Yarmouth and Portland are an easy ferry-and-drive away.
