An eco-friendly sanctuary perched on the pristine Maine coast, Inn by the Sea boasts 61 spacious one- and two-bedroom suites and traditional rooms with upscale, modern interiors, and a permanent collection of regional art. Sea Glass Restaurant offers fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced menus, as well as stunning ocean views. Things to do: Relax on the mile of sandy beach, venture out onto Casco Bay in an authentic lobster boat, roast marshmallows over an open fire pit, or head to nearby Portland to shop. The elegantly appointed, eco-conscious spa offers an array of maritime-inspired massages, facials, and body treatments.
