Welcome to Winter at Inn by the Sea

Dear Friends of Inn by the Sea,

As late fall and winter settle over the Maine coast, our familiar beauty takes on a new and magical charm. Pristine beaches, iconic lighthouses, and fresh Gulf of Maine seafood remain year-round favorites—but this quieter season invites a cozier kind of coastal escape.

Bundle up for a snowy stroll with your pup along forest trails, spot wintering birds at Great Pond, or enjoy a brisk beach walk followed by a steaming mug of cocoa by the fire. After a day outdoors, unwind in the lounge, indulge in a soothing SPA treatment, or savor Chef Jasic’s creative seasonal cuisine in Sea Glass. Portland’s shops and galleries, just minutes away, make for perfect holiday exploring.

Reservations are now open for Sunday Brunch, Breakfast with Santa (Dec. 6 & 13), and Christmas Dinner. Our popular Thanksgiving To Go returns this year, with everything prepped for a traditional feast at home. Chef Jasic’s winter menu, debuting December 10, brings hearty dishes and soul-warming soups perfect for chilly evenings by the sea.

Enjoy handcrafted cocktails or hot toddies al fresco around our cozy fire tables, and join us for special events, including Chef Jasic’s wine dinner, our February Ice Bar, and the annual Seafood Celebration.

We’re honored to again be recognized among Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Ten New England Resorts and USA Today’s 10Best Eco-Friendly Hotels—a reflection of your continued support and our shared passion for creating memorable guest experiences.

This winter, we invite you to rediscover the serenity and sparkle of Maine’s coast. For reservations, please call Guest Services at 207.799.3134.

Warmly,

Nick Shumate
General Manager
