Chesapeake Isle
Welcome to Chesapeake Isle
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE
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!
