Here in Maine, dining out for every meal is easy. There are plenty of ways to do it inexpensively and there are more than enough restaurants, seafood shacks and food trucks to try. We encourage you to hop in the car, ride your bike or even walk to the nearest locally owned spot. But, once you’ve filled your belly on the mainland you’re going to want to head to the water! This island restaurant can only be accessed by boat and it’s well worth the trip!
Unsurprisingly, you'll find the Chebeague Island Inn on beautiful Chebeague Island located off the coast of Yarmouth.
The Inn was originally built in the 1880s and was re-built for modern times in the 1920s.
The island, the largest of more than 200 in Casco Bay, is close enough to the mainland to be accessible, but far enough away to be a true getaway if even just for dinner.
You can access Chebeague using the popular Casco Bay Ferry, which leaves Portland six times a day between Monday and Friday. On the weekends, it leaves the city four times each day.
If you love eating locally, you'll be in heaven here. Second Wind Farm, located on the island, provides much of the produce used in dishes. And, the Chef’s Garden provides herbs and smaller vegetables.
To make sure you make it in time, you'll probably just want to go ahead and book yourself a room. Something like this might be just the way to wake up!
The Chebeague Island Inn is located at 61 South Rd., Chebeague Island, Maine. They can be reached at (207) 846-5155. If you’d like to leave from Portland, check the Casco Bay Lines schedule for timing and fares. To leave from Cousins Island, near Yarmouth, check the Chebeague Transportation Company schedule for timing and fares. Learn more about the Inn by visiting their website here or check them out on Facebook.
