Located in a quiet Maine coastal community approximately 7 miles south of Portland, and 110 miles north of Boston, Higgins Beach Inn is a Maine beach hotel and three story colonial revival structure whose origin dates back to 1897. Just a stone's throw from the unspoiled, sandy shore of Higgins Beach. Learn more about what we're doing to make this site more accessible and accessibility at Higgins Beach Inn.
