Treat yourself to the ultimate relaxing escape by booking your stay at Smuggler’s Cove Inn. Our waterfront resort in Midcoast Maine is the ideal destination for everyone from families to solo travelers or couples looking to enjoy the slower pace of life for a little while. For anyone planning a late summer vacation with us, spend time at some of the beaches near Boothbay Harbor.
Where to Go on Your Beach Day
Step one in planning your perfect beach day starts with deciding where to go. For a quick and easy option, walk out the door of your room and head to our very own private beach. This is a great option for last-minute plans.
However, if you’ve already spent time on our shoreline and are looking to check out another nearby option, there are several beaches to choose from. Enjoy views of Hendrick’s Head Lighthouse from Hendrick’s Head Beach in Southport, or check out Knickerbocker Lake in Boothbay. While Pemaquid Beach is a bit of a drive, it is one of the best beaches in Midcoast Maine, which means it has earned a spot on this list.
A Guide to Shoreline Activities
No matter which of the above you visit, you are able to enjoy some of the most quintessential beach activities. Wait for low tide and go for a stroll to see what uncovered treasures you can find. Take what you find and join one of our sea glass art workshops led by a local artist. More information on these sessions can be found on 727 Ocean Sunset Bar’s Facebook.
Practice your sandcastle-making skills, or simply lounge on a towel with your favorite book. If you’re hanging out on our shoreline, venture out onto the water with one of our stand-up paddleboards or kayaks. Plan your visit early enough in the morning, and you can witness a breathtaking sunrise.
