Westbrook Inn Bed & Breakfast August Newsletter 2026

Make your stay even more memorable

 August Nights Like This Are Why We Live Here



August nights on the shoreline are a favorite. The heat finally lets up, the water goes still, and everyone slows down just enough to notice. Summer is entering it's final bow, and we are beginning to look towards all the fun fall has in store. We put together a list of upcoming dates to note, the same way we'd run it down for you over coffee on the porch if you were here right now.


There's a vote we need your help with, a few dates worth marking on the calendar, and yes, the frittata recipe everyone keeps asking about.


Here is to soaking up August and perfect summer evenings. You will find us on the porch or the boat.


Looking forward to seeing you at the Inn soon,


Meri & Marcus 

Kick off summer with us at the Westbrook Memorial Day Parade, passing right by our front door! Sip your morning coffee as the parade starts at 10 AM.

From the Inn Kitchen:

Vegetable Fritatta


Our frittata is a breakfast mainstay because it's versatile. Whatever's fresh from the market, it works. Mediterranean with spinach and feta, heartier with ham and cheddar, spring asparagus, fall squash.


,Pair it with a green salad and you've got a brunch centerpiece worth the weekend.


Kitchen shortcut: keep liquid eggs in the fridge, and a quick frittata is always just a whisk away.


NEW BREAKFAST HOURS START SEPTEMBER 1st

Starting September 1st, you'll see a small shift in our breakfast hours:
☕ Coffee's out at 8am, baked goods right alongside it
🍳 Weekdays: 8:30–9:30am

Live Music, Every Direction You Turn

Fine dining on the beach
  • Concerts on the Green, Westbrook — Friday nights, bring a chair and lower your expectations for getting home early.


  • The Kate — always worth checking the calendar.


  • Scotch Plains Tavern — for when you want music with your dinner, not instead of it.


  • Coastline Brewing— good for the nights you didn't plan anything and that's fine too.
