Endless Summer in Maine

                       July 15, 2025

Maine’s Inn by the Sea, an intimate coastal retreat, just off the beaten path, that blends upscale seaside luxury with authentic Maine experiences—is perfect for a rejuvenating beach escape.

Just seven miles from Portland’s urban-chic small-port city, Inn by the Sea feels worlds away, perched beside a mile of sandy beach and adjacent to protected wildlife habitat. The 62-room property offers modern interiors with everything from romantic retreats to spacious, family-friendly cottage-style suites with kitchens, cozy fireplaces, and private decks—yes, even the family dog is welcome.

But what truly sets the Inn apart is the local, immersive experience. Guests can join  naturalists for family tidal pool or beach ecology walks, tour the Inn’s gardens, or hop aboard a working lobster boat in Casco Bay. Morning yoga on the seaside lawn, a serene full-service spa with ocean-inspired treatments, and evenings that start with craft cocktails by the fireplace and finish with locally sourced cuisine overlooking the Atlantic, round out the day.

Inn by the Sea is that rare blend of barefoot beach luxury and authentic Maine charm—perfectly situated for travelers wanting a laid-back coastal escape with easy access to Portland’s galleries, boutiques, and culinary scene.
