Located on a mile of pristine sand beach, with stunning Atlantic vistas and spaciousliving spaces, the new suites are designed to create an authentic yet modern coastal experience, setting the bar for stylish seaside accommodations in coastal Maine. Newly constructed around spectacular ocean views, each beach suite has comfortable living spaces perfect for intimate, romantic dinners as well as entertaining inside, or outdoors on furnished decks.

Traditional solid teak and wicker furnishings are paired with unexpected details in glass, natural wood or hemp. A rich palette of burnt red, taupe and grey with flashes of turquoise reflect the Inn's stylish contemporary coastal attitude, creating a perfect blend of comfort, function and beauty. Artwork speaks to the sense of place and Portland's maritime history with images of Maine's renowned lighthouses, majestic sailing ships from the golden Clipper age and local harbor scenes.

The sizeable suites feature separate king bedrooms, spacious living areas with comfortable seating around cozy gas fireplaces, dining tables, fully equipped kitchens, lavish bathrooms with marble counters and oversized tubs, and private, furnished outdoor patios.

The Beach Suite views take in both the Atlantic with lobster boats moored on the horizon, and 2 acres of restored habitat for endangered New England cottontail bunnies. A recognized leader in sustainable hotel practices, Inn by the Sea is collaborating with the Maine Department of Conservation and Bureau of Parks and Lands to restore habitat suitable to the survival of New England Cottontail rabbits at Crescent Beach State Park. The Inn has assumed full responsibility for removing invasive species on Park land adjacent to the Beach Suites, and replacing them with indigenous plants needed to protect and feed the endangered bunnies.
