We are a community of 300+ properties sandwiched between parts of Elk Neck State Park in North East, Maryland.
We feature a beautiful beach area and private harbor on the Elk River adjacent to the Turkey Point Lighthouse.
Since 1972, we have maintained our community through a non-profit entity, Chesapeake Isle Civic Association (CICA).
Volunteerism is the common core value of our very friendly & fun-loving community!

The drive to Chesapeake Isle is one of Maryland’s scenic byways.
It takes you through the quaint town of North East and through sections of the popular Elk Neck State Park.

To get to the beach, continue into the community and take the second left onto Darrel Rd.
This turns into Cliffview Dr. after the first intersection. The entrance to the beach is on the left.
It’s time to celebrate the upcoming spring with neighbors and friends by participating in CICA’S annual Progressive Dinner.
