ABOUT US__________________

Begun in 1945, one of New England's premier oceanfront inns. The Seaward Inn will open for its 64th season on Thursday May 8, 2008. We are a Bed and Breakfast Inn and Country Inn offering a full service breakfast, which is open to the public, in our Sea Garden Restaurant. Check out our new Testimonial page to read about two famous guests who visited the Seaward Inn last Summer 2007…

Following the end of  World War II, Roger and Anne Cameron purchased a large home in Rockport, Massachusetts overlooking the majestic Atlantic Ocean. They lived in small family quarters and rented  rooms to summer guests. Roger maintained their five  acres with his eye on every detail - from the country gardens, to the spring-fed swimming pond. Anne oversaw the country kitchen, which was always open - welcoming guests for a chat, a glass of lemonade, or a large chocolate chip cookie.
Daily she lovingly made certain that every guest enjoyed a truly sumptuous breakfast and dinner. A memorable tradition ensued for decades at the Seaward Inn, whereby guests were issued their own personal clothes pin. These were used to hold their napkin, which was hung in the dining room during their stay and which remained there, awaiting their return. A record of each visit was etched into those pins - some indicating second and even third generation use by the same family.
The ocean views beckon, as did the aroma of Anne's fresh baked cookies. The Seaward Inn with 17 charming units, is beautifully situated on the Atlantic Ocean at the tip of scenic Cape Ann - just north of Boston, Massachusetts. Make your great escape to the Seaward Inn. Feel salt tinged sea breezes cool your face. Enjoy the serenity of the sounds of ocean waves breaking at your door, fog horns in the distance and the tranquil calls of the Cormorants, Gulls, Geese and Herons overhead. Now you begin to understand why thousands of our guests,  for over five decades, have chosen the Seaward Inn as their perfect New England holiday. The Cameron-Gilsey family and staff cordially welcome you home to the warmth and hospitality of the Seaward Inn. We look forward to your visit.
