Sebasco Resort, Phippsburg, Maine

21 Comments

.

Consisting of 450 oceanfront acres , there are ample opportunities for strolling.

.

.

The resort itself spreads out in various areas with various types of buildings… and gives you a feeling of stepping back in time.

.

.

Individual cottages straight out the 1950’s are across the road from modern condos.

.

.

And everywhere you look there’s something photo worthy.

.

.

The rugged Maine coast is on full display. No wide sandy beaches in this neck of the woods.

.

.

The resort has their own cruise boat and offers scenic tours of the area.

.

.

And naturally my husband had to strike up an hour long conversation with the boat’s captain.

.

.

Ever spent the night in a lighthouse inspired suite? You can here.

.

.

And it’s right across from a moonlit dancing lobster. What more could you want?

.

.

Low tide.

.

.

Another cottage.

.

.

The cove.

.

.

Ahhh…. Maine.

It never fails to lower my blood pressure.

When it’s a beautiful day in Maine…

You head for lunch on the coast.

.

.

And this time we picked Sebasco Resort in Phippsburg.

There are two restaurants on site, but unfortunately the nicer one with the full menu was closed due to Covid era short staffing.

.

.

So we made do with The Ledges pub.

.

.

The outdoor patio area was filled with tourists so we had to sit inside… but the views were just as nice.

.

.

As were the cocktails. Two basil refreshers later, it was time to order.

.

.

We both started with the clam chowder which was good, but I’m a Mainer and quite picky about giving two thumbs up to chowder.

.

.

Husband had a perfectly prepared baked haddock with white wine and butter…

.

.

But my fried scallops were less than satisfactory. The batter was thick and way too crunchy… and Holy Hell, dripping in enough grease to lube two cars and a pick up truck. Blech.

.

.

If I’d been able to open the window I would have fed them to this fellow.

.

.

Thankfully the pub redeemed itself with a nice wild Maine blueberry pie a la mode.

.

.

After our meal we attempted to walk off the pounds.

.

.

To be continued….

And it’s clear from the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on deterrents… I can’t.

.

.

Yeah, I gave you a chance…. and they ate right through you.

.

.

You might as well join them.

.

.

Or rather feed them your fruit and salad scraps in the hopes they’ll leave your flowers alone.

.

.

Watermelon was a huge hit. They positively inhaled that.

.

.

But honestly, would it kill them to wipe off the scowl off their faces and maybe shoot me a grin now and then? I think it’s the least they could do.
