There are approximately 8 miles of dirt roads on the Island. The wharf is centrally located so you are never more then a mile or so away. Cars are allowed, as are golf carts, mopeds and motorcycles. There is no inspection but brakes and lights are a good idea. Walking and bikes are sufficient for many.
Most people have a car that they park in Portland.
The city also maintains a lot for islanders, parking is free but you need to prove residency to get a permit. We islanders take pride in our little general store, Fisherman's Cove , owned by Suzanne Rieth. The Store is a very important part of our community and it helps to maintain our special island lifestyle. During the summer there is also a sandwich shop in the building at the head of the steamboat wharf. In the past it has also carried milk and some fruits and vegetables.
