Sebasco Harbor Resort & Golf Club
Phippsburg, ME
Tucked into a protected cove on Casco Bay, Sebasco Harbor Resort & Golf Club is a classic New England coastal retreat built for families, sailors, and anyone who measures a good day by how far they got from their inbox. Accommodations range from the Main Lodge and Lighthouse suites to a collection of waterfront cottages—including the eight-bedroom Shore Ledges Cottage, which sleeps up to 20—giving the resort genuine range for groups of any size. Ledges Pub anchors the dining with locally sourced Maine fare and harbor views; Lighthouse Pizza Co. delivers to cottages, the golf course, and the marina on weekends. The nine-hole Links course runs along the harbor's edge, with tidal conditions that change the game on certain holes. Kayaking, pickleball, a saltwater pool, and lobster bakes round out a property that does the Maine coast right.
