BEACHES NEAR KITTERY MAINE

SEAPOINT BEACH



Between York and Rye, there aren't many places to swim. Seapoint is "swimmable" during the summer, but "walkable" all year. It's rustic and primal, which makes it ideal for an off-season or after-hours summer stroll with your four-legged companions.


Residents of Kittery have exclusive access to the town's sole beach. Seapoint Beach, like the town itself, is a tough little spot. The flies are likely to be the first thing you notice. In the summer, greenheads can carry a large bite of flesh away, and flies swarm in a dizzying fog among the seaweed. Seaweed is clumped on the beach in thick bundles that resemble raked leaves. There are a lot of seagulls, and there are a lot of rocks, too.


Despite the basic pebbly beach, Seapoint is encircled by a slew of warning signs, numbering in the hundreds, that spell out the requirements for parking and visiting. Even the crucial view from the beach's little parking area is obstructed by tall metal signs.


The Seapoint site, on the other hand, is famous not just because it is a unique swimming spot, but also because of its dog-friendly policy. Dogs are only prohibited during peak summer daytime hours and are permitted on leashes the rest of the time.


Then there's the vista, which is mostly an open panorama of the azure Atlantic. Between the pebbly low tide area and the dunes, there is a short belt of white sand. Getting to Seapoint along Route 103 is a lovely drive or bike ride in and of itself, and well worth the effort.

Experience Portsmouth & Kittery



The charm of discovering something local…nestled in a pine grove just 1.5 miles outside of downtown Portsmouth and Kittery Foreside, the Kittery Inn and Suites has been restored to keep the rustic charm of the original 1950s inn, but with all the tasteful style and upgraded amenities that the modern traveler has come to expect. Located in Kittery, ME, the oldest town in Maine and home of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, we are the first hotel over the border from Portsmouth, NH, just past the Welcome to Maine sign.

The inn is convenient to all that Southern Maine and the Seacoast has to offer and is easily accessible from I-95 and Route 1. Looking for a weekend away to enjoy nearby fine dining, shopping and a day at the beach or by our pool? We’ve got you covered. Staying longer for work at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard? We can help you there too.

Amenities at the Kittery Inn and Suites include new large 43" HD TVs, in-room coffee and tea service, fridge and microwave, new wi-fi network, and a new bedding package with duvets, as well as a continental breakfast. Studio suites are available with fully-stocked kitchenettes.

foliage at sandwich- inn and suites

 

INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS NEW ENGLAND FOLIAGE AND WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT IT




Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut make up the six states that collectively make up the northeastern United States region known as New England. One of the most distinctive features of this region is its spectacular display of fall foliage, or the changing colors of the leaves on deciduous trees. Every year, from late September to early November, millions of visitors flock to New England to witness this natural phenomenon and enjoy the crisp autumn air, scenic drives, cozy accommodations, and seasonal activities.

But what causes the leaves to change color? And why is New England such a prime destination for leaf-peeping? The answer lies in the unique combination of climate, geography, and biology that creates the perfect conditions for a colorful show.

The main factor behind the color change is the decreasing amount of daylight in autumn, which triggers a chemical process in the leaves. As the days get shorter and colder, the green pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for photosynthesis, breaks down and reveals other pigments that were previously masked. These pigments include carotenoids, which produce yellow and orange hues, and anthocyanins, which produce red and purple hues. The amount and intensity of these pigments vary depending on the type of tree, the soil acidity, and the weather conditions.

SANDWICH INN AND SUITES

Our inn is located in Sandwich, the oldest town on Cape Cod, and is set back off Route 6A in the largest historic district in the US.
