Get a jump-start on summer at Kennebunkport, Maine!
Where: The Tides Beach Club. 252 Kings Hwy., Kennebunkport, ME. 207-967-3757; www.tidesbeachclubmain.com
What’s special: The newly renovated inn — which reopens its doors on May 26 — features restored Victorian architectural details, a “seaside chic” ambiance, and views of the ocean. Situated on Goose Rocks Beach, it provides access to a three-mile stretch of sandy white coastline. The 21 rooms showcase contemporary coastal décor — think natural tones in tan and white accented with pops of color to complement the surrounding seascape. Guests stroll along the beach alongside birds and hermit crabs; dine on fresh seafood and locally grown vegetables at the Tides Beach Club; and hop on beach cruiser bicycles for a trip to nearby Cape Porpoise or Hidden Pond. Other popular activities include surfing, sailing, fishing, and golfing.
