Island Info - Cliff Island, Maine

Cliff Island is the smallest year-round island in Casco Bay and the last stop "down the bay" on the Casco Bay Lines ferry. Shaped like an "H," the island has extensive property in conservation land, permanently protecting its rural atmosphere. The island is the only year-round island in Casco Bay that has all unpaved roads and, while cars are allowed, most people walk, bicycle or use golf carts for transportation.

The community of Cliff Island consists of approximately 60 year-round residents but swells to nearly 200 in the summer. Residents are involved in a number of community organizations including the Cliff Island Association (CIA), the island library, the Cliff Island Historical Society, and the Athletic, Conservation and Education (ACE) program for children.

The island has a general store that is open all year www.PearlsSeaSideMarket.com, a full-service post office, tennis court and a community hall. With a small year-round population, a one-room schoolhouse serving six pupils, and extensive forests. Cliff Island is an hour-and-a-half and a world away from the bustle of Portland.
