Cliff Island

 

The community of Cliff Island consists of approximately 60 year-round residents but swells to nearly 200 in the summer.  Residents are involved in a number of community organizations including the Cliff Island Association (CIA), the island library, the Cliff Island Historical Society, and the Athletic, Conservation and Education program for children.  The island has a general store that is open during the summer.

With a small year-round population, a one-room schoolhouse serving eight pupils and extensive forests, Cliff Island is an hour-and-a-half and a world away from the bustle from Portland.
