Welcome to Winter at Inn by the Sea

Dear friends of Inn by the Sea:

As winter approaches we invite you to join us for an experience that combines the beauty of the coast with the cozy comforts of Maine’s winter season.  With fewer visitors in the state, you’ll find the perfect setting for a rejuvenating getaway with crackling fires, soothing SPA services, invigorating walks along the shore and delectable seasonal cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a seaside adventure, want to shop Portland’s unique boutiques nearby or to just relax with a great book by a fire, the Inn has something for everyone. 

Please check www.innbythesea.com for upcoming information on SPA features, seasonal amenities, holiday activities and Chef Brown’s menus for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. During late fall and winter months we invite you to join us for handcrafted cocktails in the fireplace lounge or the “Fire and Ice” experience at our outdoor fire tables on the seaside deck. Our popular 7th Annual outdoor Ice Bar and Sea Food Celebration will take place Thursday, February 20th- Saturday February 23rd, 2025.  

Don’t forget your skates! The Cape community ice-skating rink is available during open and free skate times for Inn guests. (schedule: cape ice rink) There are no skate rentals so be sure to pack your skates!

I am always very proud to share news of some of the accolades and awards our resort and dedicated employees continue to receive. We were thrilled to be honored with Travel + Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Awards for New England Resorts, Conde Nast Traveler 2024 Readers’ Choice Award as one of the Top Resorts in New England, USA Today’s 10Best Eco-Friendly Resorts and selected one of 2024 Top 10 Resorts for Pet Travel by Newsweek readers.  We, as always, are very grateful to the loyal guests who continue to support our hospitality team by voting for the Inn. Sea Glass has again achieved the 2nd tier award from Wine Spectator for our deep wine cellar with a 2024 Best of Award of Excellence. 

For reservations, or any special requests, please contact guest services at 207.799.3134. On behalf of the entire team, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season and eagerly anticipate the pleasure of welcoming you back to the Inn this winter. 

Warm wishes

Nick Shumate
