Review:
Great Diamond Island is a private island located in Casco Bay off the coast of Maine and forms part of the city of Portland. You can only access the island by private boat or ferry, using Casco Bay Lines. Visitors looking for a quiet and peaceful place to simply relax and enjoy a coastal holiday can rent a cottage on the car-free island, but there is very little tourist infrastructure and you will need to create your own activities. You can enjoy walking and hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching or spend time on the waters using a motorized boat, sea-kayak, or sailing boat. If you do get bored, you can always hop on the ferry and be back in Portland in 30 minutes for some retail therapy.
