The Seaside Review
This handsome seaside property has been in the hands of the Severance family since 1667. The modern motel units, all with sliding-glass doors that open onto private decks or patios (half with ocean views), are appropriate for families. You can't get much closer to Gooch's Beach. The inn supplies beach chairs first-come, first-served; step into the outdoor shower to wash off the salt and the sand.
