Westbrook Inn Bed & Breakfast July Newsletter 2025

Make your stay even more memorable

Stars, Stripes, and Seaside Nights

July is here! Its the most magical time on the Shoreline. Local festivals, fireworks displays, boating and outdoor dining. There is so much to see and do. We love this time of year and know you will enjoy the vintage charm of Westbrook when you stay with us. We have a new Sandwich and Ice Cream Shop, Slices & Scoops, which has opened directly across from the Inn so stock up on treats before you head to the beach! As always we have beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and the coveted parking pass! The beach is always accessible for you when you stay with us.


If you are staying with us on the July 4th, walk to the town beach for a spectacular fireworks display. The Fireman's Carnival is July 7-9 - funnel cakes and rides. Enjoy these small town charms. Grab a lawn chair and a grinder at Hartford GIant Grinder and take in the free music Friday nights on the green. 

 

Discover some of the best hiking areas in the U.S. and celebrate America's independence on the shoreline.
