The Beachmere Inn

Scene

A relaxing inn that's been family-run for three generations

The Beachmere Inn is a private, secluded inn that offers simple, clean rooms and dedicates itself to personalized service. The scene here is a relaxed one, as most visitors are content to enjoy the scenery with a stroll along the ocean on the Marginal Way or to read a good book on a private balcony. There is a pub within the inn, Bawdy Sally's , for light bites and evening cocktails. The inn is a short walk from Ogunquit, for visitors looking for a local dining, nightlife, and shopping scene. The Beachmere Inn offers a family-friendly environment, and every year, there are generations of families that plan an annual trip to the inn, often staying in the same room year after year. Many famous people have been attracted to the peaceful atmosphere as well, including Richard Nixon, Rachael Ray, and Bette Davis.

Location

Sweeping views of Ogunquit Beach

The Beachmere Inn offers spectacular views from a cliff top overlooking Ogunquit Beach and is also close to downtown. Ogunquit is known for great shopping, theater, and restaurants (and for being Maine's top LGBT destination), and is only a short walk from the hotel. The Marginal Way cliff walk begins right outside the hotel, and stretches along the shoreline for about a mile and a half.

The Beachmere Inn is located in a secluded and private area of the Maine coast. While other parts of Maine are easily accessible by public transportation, including buses and trains, most visitors prefer a car for exploring this part of the state. The Beachmere Inn can be a great launching point for visiting nearby towns including York -- known for its famed Cape Neddick Lighthouse -- or Dock Square, home to cute shops and galleries. Excellent shopping is also nearby in Kittery Hall, home to several outlet stores.

City life isn't too far away in Portland, Maine. Located north of the Beachmere Inn, Portland offers a range of shopping, sightseeing, and dining options. Top attractions include the historic Old Port district along the harbor and the Arts District along Congress Street. Portland attracts food lovers for its developing restaurant scene while nature lovers are drawn to the several historic parks in the city.

  • 50-minute drive from Portland, Maine
