Higgins Beach Inn, whose origins date back to the 19th century, is a Maine beach hotel within a stone’s throw of the unspoiled and sandy Higgins Beach, just 20 minutes from the bustling Portland. Nestled between Prouts Neck and Crescent Beach State Park, Higgins Beach Inn is perfectly situated for a leisurely vacation on one of Southern Maine’s finest beaches. Plan time for sunbathing, walks along the beach, surfcasting, treasure hunting for sand dollars and shells, boogie boarding, and more!
