Beach & Ocean Resorts in New England

From the dunes of Cape Cod to the lighthouses of Maine to the green islands of Lake Champlain

New England beach resorts and oceanfront hotels express the variety of New England's waterfront beauties. Ocean resorts in Maine favor the state's rocky coast and jagged peninsulas and lighthouses; beach resorts in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, are hard by grassy dunes; luxury resorts also pamper guests on the ocean beaches of Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

A weekend getaway or longer beach or ocean vacation trip can be a dream at New England resorts, where guests find waterfront lodging, white-glove service, and great dining. Add to that spa service, whirlpool tubs, charter fishing, or golf, depending on the location. This is where romance is kindled and families come to play.
