From the reviews
We attended a wedding and decided to extend our stay. This place is perfectly situated - private beach and walking distance to town with all the shops and restaurants. Check in was a breeze and the staff could not be nicer.
We had a wonderfully restful time at the Inn on the Beach. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The private patio didn't have a view of the beach but it gave you a private outdoor space to relax in . the shared fire pit area was a nice place to enjoy the sunset and mingle with other guests.
Great location just off the sand! The staff here are excellent, very helpful and accommodating. The owners are also great! We had my family stay here during my wedding at Wychmere. Everyone enjoyed their rooms and were comfortable. They also liked the view of the beach right outside.
We stayed at Inn on the Beach the week after Easter. Perfect mid-cape location. Breathtaking views of the ocean. Steps from the beach. The owners were friendly, accommodating and always available. It was a relaxing, restful stay!!!
Getting married at Inn on the Beach
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
