Island Info - Diamond Cove, Maine
Diamond Cove, on Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, is Maine’s premier island community. The heart of Diamond Cove is Fort McKinley, designed to defend Portland Harbor during the Spanish-American War. Built between 1891 and 1907, Fort McKinley housed more than 1,000 soldiers in brick barracks and Queen Anne-style officers’ quarters surrounding a stately parade ground. The fort was retired from active service in 1945.
As a self-contained community, Diamond Cove has a lot to offer, including swimming pools, tennis courts, health club, indoor basketball, bowling, pinball machines, and billiards. There are also scenic walking trails and a full service marina.
