Your Special Celebrations
Babymoons for the expectant couple ... Togetherness and tranquility for couples celebrating a special relationship milestone ...
![]() Relaxing and enjoying togetherness at Short Sands Beach in York Beach Maine |
We want to help expectant couples celebrate their babymoon at Candleshop Inn! For those of you who may not know what a "babymoon" is, the term describes the final getaway that a couple takes together before their first child is born. It's typically a time to indulge each other and oneself. Sleep in, walk the beach, have heart-to-heart chats, just be together ... we can also recommend spas in our area which offer, among other services, pre-natal massage.
I don't think we could have selected a more serene setting in which to just relax and renew our connection with one another. The ocean here is so magical. Thank you Barbara!
