About Peaks

Island

Peaks Island, located between Casco Bay and Portland Harbor, is a coastal and village-like Portland neighborhood with a working waterfront and wooded lanes. The island’s character concentrates around the Peaks Island Ferry Landing and the stretch of Island Avenue lined with porch-front cottages, bike rentals, and small cafes. Community pillars include the Fifth Maine Regiment Museum, the Peaks Island House, and the Inn on Peaks Island. Narrow roads loop past rocky coves, pocket beaches, and weathered docks, with golf carts and bicycles setting the pace. Architecture leans toward shingled cottages and classic New England summer homes, with salt-air patina and tidy gardens. Trails and shoreline paths frame daily routines around ferry schedules and long water views.
