Set just above the shoreline at Higgins Beach, The Breakers Inn offers a familiar, relaxed way to experience one of southern Maine’s most beloved coastal neighborhoods. With the beach just steps away and the sound of the surf never far off, it’s an easy place to settle into the rhythm of the coast.
Days here tend to unfold naturally. Mornings often begin with a walk along the sand or watching early surfers paddle out beyond the break. Afternoons are spent on the beach, exploring the shoreline at low tide, or returning to the inn to relax between swims and sunset walks, or to enjoy a drink during the Inn's nightly cocktail hour.
The Breakers Inn has long been part of the Higgins Beach community, offering comfortable accommodations in a setting that feels like a beloved family beach house. It’s a place where the focus is less on formality and more on the simple pleasures of the Maine coast—salt air, ocean views, and time spent together making memories, and reliving old ones.
Whether you're here for a few nights by the sea or using the inn as a base to explore the surrounding coastline or the Portland area, The Breakers Inn provides an easygoing stay in a setting defined by surf, sand, and classic Maine beach vibes.
Reopening in June 2026 after a thoughtful renovation designed to retain the character of the building while uplifting the guest experience, we're excited to welcome both new & returning guests!
