Abstract: In this paper, we study stable constant mean curvature $ H$ surfaces in $ \mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that, in such a surface, the distance from a point to the boundary is less than or equal to $ \pi/(2H)$. This upper bound is optimal and is extended to stable constant mean curvature surfaces in space forms.
