Islands

---

Casco Bay's islands are numerous and vary greatly in size and personality. Many of the small inhabited islands have no roads, stores or accommodations for tourists; these are best avoided and will not be described further. Other than Peaks Island, there are no public toilet facilities. Tie-up time at public landings is limited.

Knighville Landing- "More than just a boat landing." A new landing located west of South Port Marine. Dock your boat and walk to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, banking and much more. Recreational boaters, water taxis and fishing boats may also pick up and discharge passengers. Seasonal floats mid-April to late October.

House Island is privately owned and is used for group clambakes upon reservation. The stonework on the end of the island is Fort Scammell.

Peaks Island has the greatest population of the inner islands. On the SW end of the island is the ferry landing; adjoining it, a public landing. Going from the landing to Island Ave, one finds gift shops, restaurants, grocery store, bicycle rental and repair shop, Post Office Station and a Public Safety building with restrooms. Island Ave becomes Seashore Ave and circles the island. Next to the public landing is Jones' Landing where one may tie up and visit the restaurant. Still to the west is Peak's Island Marina for fuel and laundromat.

Great Diamond Island, site of Fort McKinley, has a restaurant and store in Diamond Cove, with a place to tie up. The fort area is known as McKinley Estates, a private condo community. On the western half of the island there are privately-owned cottages but no public facilities.
