Inn by the Sea

There’s no better way to spend a summer afternoon in Maine than wandering miles of sandy beaches or taking a kayak for a sunset paddle in the surf — that is, if it weren’t for those tired calves and triceps after the sun goes down. The new high-end spa added to the 57-suite Inn by the Sea as part of a recent multimillion-dollar renovation is a great place to rejuvenate your muscles. The signature Sea Waves massage uses an undulating bed and flowing strokes that simulate the rhythms of the ocean — and are almost as good as strolling along its shores.
