Inn by the Sea
Maine
At Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, a private boardwalk crosses a wildlife sanctuary and rose-lined dunes to Crescent Beach. The mile-long stretch of sand provides the backdrop for swimming, kayaking and coastal walks, with Kettle Cove adding opportunities for birdwatching nearby. Beach Suites pair water views with patios or decks, living rooms, gas fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens. They offer space for a longer coastal stay, while the inn’s spa and fitness centre provide options away from the shore. House cruising bicycles are available for exploring the grounds, and Sea Glass is the hotel’s dining venue.
