Blue - Inn On The Beach

About Blue - Inn On The Beach

Ten minutes from Newburyport proper, on the North Shore of Massachusetts, is Plum Island, a barrier island known for its long, golden, sandy beach. And at the south end of Newbury Beach, comfortably removed from the action in Plum Island’s village, is Blue - Inn on the Beach. Like many of New England’s most attractive little hotels, it’s a Lark production, and while the décor is suitably maritime-influenced, it’s perhaps a bit more dramatic than you might expect. The rooms, suites, and cottages are classic in style, underneath it all, but the interiors display a stark contrast between the white-on-white backgrounds and the vivid pops of ultra-saturated blue. All of this without sacrificing warmth; the materials are still touchable and organic, and the in-room comforts include things like Tivoli bluetooth radios and Keurig coffee makers. Many of the units feature direct views onto the beach from their balconies or private decks, as does the hotel’s hot tub. The cottages add both more space and more privacy, and the suites are large indeed — the top-of-the-line Blue Oceanfront Suite spans two floors and more than two thousand square feet. And while there’s no restaurant, daily breakfast baskets are provided, and the town of Newburyport is close at hand.
