The resort was started by the Beach Family in 1886. Today
it is still operated by the 4th generation Beach family and
this resort has much to offer to the boating family. Let’s
start with the waterfront. There are about 60+ docks
which can accomidate larger yachts as well as cruisers. The
docks are located in a tree-lined protected harbor. Also at
the Harbor bicycle rental, and small boat rentals such as
sunfish sailboats, kayaks, or paddle boards are available
for rent. A sandy beach with plenty of comfortable lounge
chairs line the water. Several paddle boats and smaller
rowboats are kept on the beach for the children to use. A
diving board is located in 12 feet of water and just off from
there is a huge water trampoline.
Back on land the “Burgee Bar” offers drinks during the
afternoons, and quality craft beer is available at all the
restaurant locations at Basin Harbor. Just past the bar is
the north dock which hosts special dinners 3 times a week.
On Tuesday “The Harbor Fair” is a themed event in which
families can enjoy a grand buffet dinner with activities for
theyounger childrensuchasgames, ahay ride, andtoasting

foods on the buffet table from the local farms. Thursday
