The Tides Beach Club

"Tides Beach Club in Kennebunkport is the only oceanfront hotel on Goose Rocks Beach. The luxury Maine hotel is well-suited for intimate beach weddings for up to 80 people (or 50 seated). Full-property buyouts are required for nuptials, which includes all 21 rooms and suites along with full wedding catering." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Tides Beach Club organizes kayaking, paddle boarding, and boogie boarding. The beach boys set us up with our chairs, lounges, and umbrellas, and the days just sort of unfolded as they did with no real structure or direction or reason. The Tides Beach Club restaurant is the heartbeat of the beach, with lemonade in mason jars, perfectly cooked burgers, and a buzzy hum at all hours of the day. We were sandy footed and welcomed all the same. The restaurant caters on the beach as well, serving all the expected lunchtime fare plus to-go bottled cocktails from the bar if you fancy a mid-afternoon tipple." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Grab a bite at The Tides Beach Club to streamline the experience."

"For a longstanding gem that attracts locals and visitors alike, opt for The Tides Beach Club located just beyond the Biddeford town line in neighboring Kennebunkport."

"The restaurant at this hotel sits directly across the street from, and looks out to, Goose Rocks Beach , a gorgeous slice of shoreline. From the kitchen, though, you won't find any culinary acrobatics, precious ingredients, or esoteric dishes. The lobster roll comes on a meticulously grilled roll, either cold with a light dress of garlic aioli and scallion, or hot with a pour of tarragon and brown butter. The short ribs are braised in apple cider and fork-tender. The chicken sandwich arrives fried to a light crispiness on the outside, is moist as can be in, topped with pickled green cabbage, and locally made maple mustard." - Alexandra Hall
