9 Stunning Beach Resorts In Maine That Are Almost Too Good To Be True
Maine’s coastline has a lot going for it. For one, it’s surprisingly long at nearly 3,500 miles. You’ve heard it a hundred times, but it’s worth repeating that our coast line is even longer than that of California! With all that area, it’s not surprising that some of the most beautiful beach resorts in the country have popped up right here in Maine. While there are many to choose from, these are a few of the ones that take our breath away.
Another great choice for families, the location of Spruce Point means lots of fun water activities. It also means close proximity to town for ice cream and other attractions. But first you'll have to pull yourself away from the view. Address: 88 Grandview Avenue, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538.
A slight departure from the other resorts on this list, we like to think lakeside beaches are just as great as those on the coast. The newly renovated Bear Mountain Inn offers tranquility and beauty, all just an hour and change from Portland. Address: 364 Waterford Road, Waterford, ME 04088.
This family run resort in Kennebunkport has been one of the most beautiful places to stay in Maine for more than a century. Your room will likely be just steps from the water, but you can see for miles from most of this place. Address: 95 Ocean Avenue, Kennebunkport, ME 04046.
The one or two bedroom suites located in this resort along one mile of beach in Cape Elizabeth are bright and airy. The location is close enough to Portland for dinner or day trips, but staying here and disappearing from it all is an easy choice too! Address: 40 Bowery Beach Road, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107.
Perhaps one of the most well-known coastal resorts in the state Cliff House comes with some serious views. While not especially far from Maine's larger towns (which means dinner in Portland is easy!) this place feels removed from it all. You'll love the bright and airy rooms as well as the pool and views. Address: 591 Shore Road, Cape Neddick, ME 03902.
The Samoset is situated on 230 acres of waterfront property overlooking the Penobscot Bay. Their "Ultimate Backyard" includes tons of fun games making this a great choice for families. Be sure to enjoy their new pool and make time for a trip to Camden. Address: 220 Warrenton Street, Rockport, ME 04856.
There isn't a lot you can't do here at Sebasco. From boating to fishing to eating to drinking, you can get away with showing up and not leaving until you check-out. We love that it's tucked away in an area of Maine that many tourists don't frequent, which makes this place quiet and calm. Address: 29 Kenyon Road, Phippsburg, ME 04562.
One of Maine's most popular lakes is also one of the most beautiful to see at night. That makes Migis Lodge a natural choice for an overnight stay. Enjoy family time and the call of the loon. Address: 30 Migis Lodge Road, South Casco, ME 04077.
We love this place for its simplicity. No fancy restaurants that require dressing up, not pretense, just great one and two room efficiencies right on the 7.5 miles of beach in OOB. Address: 197 E Grand Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, ME 04064.
