The Tides is located just a few steps across the street from one of Maine's prettiest stretches of coastline. Goose Rocks Beach is a completely unspoiled three mile long, silvery-white sandy beach which casts a spell over couples and families to make their seasonal pilgrimage back – year after year - generation after generation. Our tract of beach can be accessed by a winding sand path through the dunes to the ocean's edge. Least Terns, Piping Plovers, Harbor Seals, and Sandollars also share this magical seashore. President George Bush, Barbara, and Millie enjoyed Presidential Powerwalks on Goose Rocks Beach during his presidency. 

     The Tides Inn is the last remaining Grand Hotel overlooking the beach and is ideally situated to offer its guests magnificent ocean and beach views. Goose Rocks is only a six mile drive from the downtown bustle of Kennebunkport Village. Where else in Kennebunkport can you walk a three mile long sandy beach just a few steps away, discover harbor seals basking on the rocks, search for sandollars, observe endangered species birds, settle back in a rocking chair on the veranda and watch lobster men haul traps of fresh lobster in the cove, sip cocktails at sunset and dine with majestic views in an atmosphere of relaxed elegance...The Belvidere Club & The Tides Inn By~The~Sea, "Kennebunkport's Quintessential Lodging, Dining & Libation Destination," since 1899. *Simply INN-keeping with times gone by...
