Inn by the Sea, Maine’s premier beach destination, offers elegant hospitality in 61 stylish one and two bedroom suites and rooms. Luxury comes naturally at this oceanfront resort located on a mile of unspoiled sand beach with full service SPA, outdoor heated pool and Chef Andrew Chadwick’s captivating cuisine. Guests enjoy Atlantic views, fresh regionally sourced menus and relaxing SPA services inspired by the sea all while being surrounded by the natural beauty of coastal Maine. Inn by the Sea offers the best of both worlds- a relaxing seaside destination yet is just 7 miles from Portland’s urban chic small port city with galleries, unique boutique shopping and water activities.
