Great Diamond Island is home to the restaurant Diamond's Edge. Explore the island and historic buildings. The only motorized vehicles on the island are golf carts. Talk about "Vacationland"... During the summer, local boaters enjoy happy hour at 'cocktail cove' nestled between the bay of Diamond's Edge and Cow Island.
