Inn by The Sea
Stunning is the best word that describes the Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth. There are 57 rooms, guest suites, and private cottages, all arranged on an enormous seaside property. Dining at the Sea Glass restaurant is an unparalleled experience. A full menu of spa services is available. AND the Inn by the Sea is pet friendly!

The Five Fifty-Five Restaurant is the epitome of fine dining. Using primarily local ingredients, the menu varies with the season and is always offered with excellent wine recommendations. Dress is classy casual, reservations are recommended.
Enjoy the theatrical performances of the Portland Stage Company, Portland's oldest fully professional, non-profit theater.

POINT SEBAGO RESORT
The Point Sebago Resort offers the best golfing that Maine has to provide. After your 18-holes, relax with a beer next to a roaring bonfire, on the shores of Sebago Lake.
