Diamond's Edge Restaurant is located in Diamond Cove
on Great Diamond Island, one of the Casco Bay islands off
the coast of Portland, Maine.
Access
to the island is gained by either a private boat or a Casco
Bay Lines ferry, which takes approximately 30 minutes. The
views along the route are spectacular and either the ferry
personnel or local residents aboard will happily share their
knowledge of the area.
Casco
Bay Lines is located at the corner of Commercial Street and
Franklin Arterial, Exit 7 off I-295. |

Just what is Diamond Cove??
Diamond Cove, Maine's premier island community, is located
at the former Fort McKinley, built between 1891 and 1907 by
the Army to defend Portland Harbor during the
Spanish-American War. The fort was retired from service in
1945 and suffered decades of neglect. Now, the stately
brick buildings have been restored with much effort being
made to preserve its architectural integrity. Diamond Cove
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Diamond Cove is a year-round, self-contained community, with
it's own general store, marina and art gallery, featuring
Maine artisans. |
