Yarmouth

Yarmouth is a charming little town in Cumberland County in Maine, located twelve miles north of Portland. Although this town is just a few minutes away from Portland, the town’s ambiance is very strikingly different than that of the city. This is a very laidback, peaceful place that only seems to get busy during the Yarmouth Clam Festival. Every July, local residents and visitors flock to one of the best summer celebrations in the state to get their fill of Maine clams or be part of various fun events such as the Firefighter’s Muster Competition and Fun Run.

Yarmouth is situated on the coast of Casco Bay and encompasses the communities of Little John Island and Cousins Island, both easily reached by bridge. Yarmouth is also a popular spot for boaters with two full-service marinas along the Royal River – the Yankee Marina and the Yarmouth Boat Yard.
