In the television show Cabot Cove's exact location was never fixed. In Chapter 18 on page 261 of Martin Gottfried's authorized biography of Angela Lansbury it is stated that the producers based Cabot Cove on the real town of Castine, Maine.

In the episode School for Murder in Season 11, a nautical chart behind Mort's desk shows Penobscot Bay.
