The Beachmere Inn

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.

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.
