Classic New England Charm

Sherwood Forest is one of Cape Elizabeth's most sought-after neighborhoods. Its wooded streets, named in a nod to the Robin Hood legend (Locksley, Robinhood), wind past established homes on generous lots, many framed by mature trees, rhododendrons, and long-grown landscaping that give the area a private, park-like feel.

Just a short walk to Fort Williams Park and Portland Head Light, Sherwood Forest is one of Cape Elizabeth's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Fort Williams Park

Points of Interest

  • Fort Williams Park is one of Cape Elizabeth’s most treasured landmarks. The 90-acre park is home to Portland Head Light, first lit in 1791 and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country. Visitors can stroll the oceanfront Cliff Walk, explore the historic Goddard Mansion ruins and former military batteries, wander the Arboretum, or simply relax on the open lawns overlooking Casco Bay. Whether it’s a morning walk, a family picnic, or a sunset by the water, Fort Williams offers a year-round escape right in the neighborhood.

  • A short drive from home, Crescent Beach State Park is one of Southern Maine’s most beloved beaches. Its mile-long crescent of soft sand curves along the Atlantic, offering calm swimming, beach walks, and views out to Richmond Island. Beyond the beach, the park features shaded picnic areas, a seasonal snack bar, and wooded trails that connect to nearby Kettle Cove. From summer swims to quiet off-season strolls, Crescent Beach is a local favorite in every season.

  • Standing on a rocky headland at the edge of Fort Williams Park, Portland Head Light is Maine’s oldest lighthouse and an enduring symbol of the state’s maritime heritage. First lit in 1791 during George Washington’s presidency, the lighthouse still guides ships into Portland Harbor today. The former keepers’ quarters now house a museum sharing the history of the light and the families who tended it, and the surrounding paths offer dramatic views of the coastline and Casco Bay.

  • Located in the heart of Cape Elizabeth’s Town Center, the Cape Elizabeth Community Center is a hub of activity for residents of all ages. Run by Cape Elizabeth Community Services, the center is home to an indoor pool open year-round for lap swimming, lessons, and family swim times. It also offers a full calendar of programs, including fitness classes, youth sports and camps, after-school activities, and adult enrichment courses. It’s a welcoming place to stay active, learn something new, and connect with neighbors.
