The town of Cape Elizabeth offers a home to those seeking an active and peaceful lifestyle accompanied by the best of nature.

Here, you can wake to the serene quiet of Maine’s woods, the enchanting ocean air, enticing food options moments away, and the vibrant and growing city of Portland just over a bridge.

Walking and cycling paths through woodlands, neighborhoods, state parks, and beaches offer recreation and relaxation. Boating is enjoyed by many, whether in a kayak, canoe, lobster boat, ferry, or yacht. And the quarterly seasons bring comfort and change, with new adventures, activities, and experiences.

Eat Your Heart Out

Cape’s food options offer access to fresh, seasonal produce and artisanal goods from local markets like Rosemont Market, C Salt Gourmet Market, and generations-old farm stands, at places like Jordan’s Farm. 

Welcoming dining spots include David’s 388, and The Good Table Restaurant, newly acquired by the Prentice Hospitality Group, owners of Twelve, EVO, The Chebeague Island Inn, 58 Culinary, and Maine Harbor Club.

For baked goods, head to Scratch Baking Company or The Cookie Jar, two local institutions known for their satisfying pastries and breads.
