Greg's Guidebook
Food scene
A quick 15 minute ferry ride from Cousins island will get you to Chebeague Island. You can shuttle or walk up to the Inn. There’s also a 9 hole golf course that sits in front of the Inn. We like to stop at the beach to look for sea glass with the kids first. Typically they enjoy some ice cream while we sip a glass of wine and watch the sunset. There are board games & outdoor games that are fun for the kids. Or turn your visit into a romantic night out and enjoy the amazing food at the restaurant while watching the sunset over Casco Bay. One of our favorite spots!

Our friend owns this business and I must say that it’s the most authentic Maine boat tour that you could take. You’ll meet some true Mainah’s while learning about lobstering in Maine. Lend a hand pulling up lobster pots. Our kids loved this tour! This is the best way to see the Maine coastline. Tom will take you by Portland Headlight, Bug Light, and Fort Gorgeous. You’ll likely spot Porpoises as well.
