Car-centric with easy access to coastal routes
Transportation in Cape Neddick primarily revolves around personal vehicles, reflecting its coastal, somewhat rural nature. The area's layout and infrastructure are more suited to driving, with many attractions and services spread out along the coast.
Route 1, also known as the Coastal Route, runs through the area and provides easy access to neighboring coastal towns like Ogunquit to the north and York to the south. This scenic highway offers a pleasant drive along the Maine coast, connecting residents to various beaches, shopping areas, and dining establishments.
While public transportation options are limited, the area's compact nature allows for some walkability, especially to nearby beaches and local shops. Biking is an option for short trips, though the hilly terrain and seasonal weather may present challenges.
For air travel, the nearest major airport is Portsmouth International at Pease, located about 25 minutes away in New Hampshire. This regional airport offers convenient access for domestic flights.
