Independently owned oceanfront resort on Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, known for its dog-friendly hospitality, sustainability program, and the Sea Glass restaurant.
Inn by the Sea sits on Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, just south of Portland, an independently owned oceanfront property that has built a national reputation for environmental stewardship and pet-friendly hospitality. Guest rooms, suites, and cottages look out over the Atlantic and the inn's restored native gardens, which are managed to support pollinators and the New England cottontail. The Sea Glass restaurant serves coastal Maine cuisine with an emphasis on sustainable seafood, and the spa and oceanfront pool round out a resort experience that stays personal in scale. The inn is a longtime member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts while remaining family-run.
