Rooms and suites overlook the working lobster dock and beautiful harbor, with views stretching across the ocean and nearby islands, changing with the light and tide.
Waterview rooms fill quickly. Plan ahead to reserve your stay at East Wind Inn on the water.
Mornings on the Porch
Breakfast is included with your stay and made to order each morning.
Exclusively for Inn guests, it’s a quiet start to the day as fishermen haul in their catch at the dock.
Served overlooking the harbor, it’s a chance to slow down and settle in—with locally roasted coffee, fresh, simple ingredients, and nowhere else to be.
The Perfect Base for Monhegan Island
Many guests stay here before or after visiting Monhegan—trading crowds for calm without sacrificing location. Just minutes from the ferry, the East Wind Inn is a convenient place to stay before or after your island visit.
Explore during the day—then return to calm, dinner, and the harbor at sunset.
Book early for Monhegan stays.
