from state property. The Inn replanted the area with local shrubs such as raspberry, blueberry, dogwood, alder, winterberry and dewberry to create a high-quality, safe habitat for New England cottontails. The rabbits were named as candidates for the US Endangered Species Act in 2006 and are listed as endangered in Maine and New Hampshire. The grounds of the Inn by the Sea are truly amazing – long, sweeping walkways lead to beautiful gardens and grassy areas. They have a boardwalk that takes you through a lovely wooded area and opens out onto a beautiful, pristine stretch of beach. If you’re looking for privacy, this is the place to go as the beach is only avail- able to hotel guests. The rooms are spacious, inviting and quite luxurious. Large ocean view suites feature deluxe bathrooms with oversized showers or tubs, plush bathrobes, and amazingly comfortable bedding. You can even choose to stay in a beach suite or cottage, which have two bedroom accom- modations and flexible floor plans, perfect for families! And let’s not forget the food! Don’t expect Chilean Sea Bass when you visit their premier restaurant, Sea Glass. Ex- ecutive Chef Mitchell Kaldrovich’s menus feature underutilized seafood fresh from Maine’s coastal waters. The Chef works with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and knowledgeable local fishermen to identify abundant and delicious fish from the Gulf of Maine that are relatively unknown and certainly not overfished. By serving lesser known fish, the group hopes to help pre- serve the diversity and health of the Gulf of Maine. The chef also sources fresh produce, meat and poultry from local farms when- ever possible in a true celebration of Maine fare.
All in all, the Inn by the Sea is an amaz- ing place to experience true ecofriendly luxury, enjoy delicious, healthy meals and support habitats for endangered species. It doesn’t get any better than that!
