Phippsburg, ME

Tideline Pines

Seven distinct stays. One stretch of Maine coast.

Tideline Pines is twelve acres of salt marsh and white pine on the Popham Beach peninsula in Phippsburg, Maine. Seven hand-built units — from a couples safari tent to a four-bedroom marsh-front cottage — share the same firepit circle, the same kayak shed, and the same view of the tide coming in. Pick the one that fits the trip.

The Area

Phippsburg, Popham Beach, and the rest of midcoast

What you can do in 10, 30, and 60 minutes. We send guests home with a printed local guide on arrival — this is the short version.

Popham Beach State Park

Ten minutes south by car, four miles of broad sandy beach with tidal flats that change shape every storm. Best at low tide — you can walk out to Fox Island and back if you watch the clock. There's a small fee in summer; bring cash. Lobster rolls at the snack bar are surprisingly good.

Bath, Brunswick & Boothbay

Bath is twenty minutes north — Maine Maritime Museum, downtown shopping, and the best ice cream in the county at Mae's. Brunswick is thirty minutes west for the Bowdoin Museum of Art, breweries, and farm-to-table dinners. Boothbay Harbor is forty-five minutes east when you want a postcard fishing town and a boat tour out to Monhegan.
