Peaks Island is a scenic 20 minute ferry ride from downtown Portland, Maine. The ferry ride begins your transformation from mainland mode to island, relaxation mode. Suddenly you no longer have to worry about traffic, you become more aware of your senses as you see sights of Casco Bay, as you feel and smell the cool sea breezes, and hear the minute warning blast of the ferry---your off to the start of a memorable experience. Peaks Island is a very popular choice for weddings, with two venues located very close to the ferry. Centennial beach is less than a block from the house and perfect for watching sunsets, or keeping cool on a warm summer day. The island's perimeter road beckons island visitors to bicycle and walk it with its abundant ocean views and shore access. If you're an artist, this is a dream location for seascapes!

For those who choose to bring their car to Peaks, there is parking right at the house. If you decide to leave your car mainland, the city operates a number of convenient garages to the ferry. For more information: (website: hidden)
