Canceled my friends, we’ll try for next year🙏
Join MYA on lovely beach in Southern Maine for a weekend adventure with sweet inn accommodations, surf lessons, hiking, strolling, yummy food, plenty of yoga, and more…
We’ll be spending the weekend at the fab Higgins Beach Inn, a boutique experience literally steps away from the surf, the unspoiled, sandy shore of Higgins Beach. Nestled between historic Prouts Neck and the sandy beaches of Crescent Beach State Park in a quiet Maine coastal community approximately 7 miles south of Portland, and 110 miles north of Boston, the inn is a Maine beach hotel and three story colonial revival structure whose origin dates back to 1897. The rooms offer up peaceful and warm ambiance with a light and airy beachy feel, perfect for adventurers.
Very limited space! MYA is looking for adventurers willing to share. There are only three bedrooms available with one queen bed in each with the possibility of adding in a cot to each room. This doesn’t mean that you have to come as a couple; whoever would like to share with you, friends, family, an acquaintance, it all works!
Arrival time is flexible, adventurers can come early to hike and play in the area or wait until dinnertime, no worries either way. MYA will set up a happy hour & yummy vegetarian dinner for all. We can get in some evening yoga on the beach and watch the fabulous sunset.
In the morning, we’ll enjoy breakfast at the inn, omelettes, french toast, bagels, whatever suits your fancy. After a pause to digest, adventurers will take on the Legendary Cliff Walk, about a 90 minute trek roundtrip along the shoreline’s magnificent cliffs. Every turn on this walk leads to one breathtaking landscape after another. I’ve heard it’s very tricky to find but definitely worth it.
MYA will lay out some lunchtime snacks then we’re either getting into our surf lesson or saving it for Sunday. Flexibility and weather is key, we’ll get to hit the surf (with full wetsuits!) no matter what. Adventurers will have the best surf instruction around with Black Point Surf Shop - no experience necessary - we’ll have a talented pro guiding us the whole way thru. Coming highly recommended and in full support of local talent, craftsmen and woodworkers right here in Maine, Black Point showcases surfboards and paddle boards made at the shop and those crafted by fellow cold water surfers.
We’ll get in another session of sunset yoga on the beach to stretch out after our session of surfing and/or after a day of strolling/hiking. After nice warm showers at the inn, dinner will be up to adventurers - we could grab food and eat at the inn or have dinner out at a local restaurant that’s within walking distance or a very short drive.
We’ll have more of super tasty Higgins Beach Inn breakfast to get our Sundayfunday started and then we’ll see what magic the day holds - definitely more yoga! Please know that the yoga practices are accessible for everyone, no experience necessary. If we’ve already gotten in our surf lesson, there are plenty of pretty local hikes to explore such as Fort Williams Park w/ the Portland Head Light and more lounging & relaxing at the inn before checkout is a no brainer :)
