At the point where the Kennebunk River feeds into the Atlantic Ocean a captivating hotel sits directly on the water — The Breakwater Inn & Spa. One of Kennebunkport Maine’s oldest inns, our original 1880’s cottage architecture evokes the soothing tranquility of a bygone era — where the allure of a good book or a glass of wine enjoyed in an Adirondack chair by the water never goes out of style.
