Three-and-a-half miles of pristine white sand beaches…a bustling storybook downtown…scenic Shore Road…imaginative shops and accommodations…a thriving center for the arts and entertainment…a postcard perfect Perkins Cove – all these alluring features combine to demonstrate why Ogunquit is proud to call itself the “beautiful place by the sea.”

A “must see” trolley stop is Perkins Cove.  The cove remains a working harbor and creative designers have converted old fishing and dock shacks into stylish boutiques and restaurants.  Marginal Way is a 1-1/4 miles winding footpath.  It’s an easy hike, safe for children, strollers and is handicap accessible. You start at Perkins Cove and end at Ogunquit Beach.

To appreciate Ogunquit’s impact on the art world visit the award winning Barn Gallery and the Museum of American Art, which deserves the distinguished title of “The most beautiful little museum in the world.”

Another attraction that helped build the town’s artistic reputation is the Ogunquit Playhouse. It started in a converted garage in 1933 and has become known as “America’s Foremost Summer Theater.”

From one end of Ogunquit to the other you’ll find accommodations from motels, inns, B&Bs and cottages to luxury resorts. You have a broad range of restaurants and eateries, an entertaining nightlife and a host of summer attractions – such as fishing, sailing, whale watching, golf and tennis – that the entire family can enjoy.
