From the reviews
Once a summer we make it a tradition to go enjoy this gorgeous property. Even though we live in Maine, it feels like an extra special getaway. Goose Rocks Beach has the softest sand, and we love to drink champagne on the yellow loungers then enjoy a long dinner at the bar and meet people visiting from all over.
Recently, I took my Mom to the Tides Beach Club to celebrate her birthday. We had the BEST time staying here, and it was because the staff was so kind and professional. Before we had even arrived, their concierge Albert had reached out and organized dinner reservations for us.
Our yearly cousins reunion isn’t the same without time at the Tides Beach Club. We were given great attention, excellent suggestions and the best service from Alyssa. Thank you for making our experience on your front porch special.
We were lucky to grab seats at the bar at Tides Beach Club on a very busy Saturday Great food and fare was provided by the most wonderful bartender, Alissa Looking forward to returning for another great experience Thank you Alissa for making our day!!!
Getting married at The Tides Beach Club
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.
