Plan a Classic Maine Honeymoon in Picturesque Ogunquit

 

As we hastily approach yet another golden summer here along Maine’s rocky coast, countless soon-to-be brides and grooms gleefully line up their honeymoon plans. While 2020 is destined to be a unique year in every way, shape, and form, elegant weddings will assuredly endure. Thus, there will always be a time and place for a classic Maine honeymoon in the historic, undeniably beautiful sea town of Ogunquit, a true coastal jewel. The Beachmere Inn on the Ocean, one of the finest (and most historical) hotels in Maine, remains an idyllic honeymoon destination for couples who value sophistication, relaxation, culinary arts, and a smidge of aquatic adventure.

The Beachmere Inn: History, Beauty, and Romance

Ogunquit, when examined under a microscope, is perhaps the most enticing location for a long-awaited coastal Maine honeymoon, primarily because of its natural beauty, historical significance, and to-die-for culinary creations. The Beachmere Inn itself fosters passionate, uninhibited romance with a playful element thrown into the fold. With ample on-site acreage to explore the ocean’s edge, as well as a culinary institution (Blue Bistro), there’s no denying the allure of The Beachmere during summer’s radiance and autumn’s vibrant peak. Greet each glorious sunrise with a cup of coffee, explore the region’s landscape, and dine on coastal fare that’s reminiscent of a voyage across the seven seas—life in Ogunquit isn’t fair.
