Ogunquit, Maine - "Beautiful Place by the Sea"

Ogunquit is a popular summer resort, and home to the Ogunquit Playhouse. Over the past 100 years, this charming seaside village has evolved from a small fishing village with dirt roads and shacks, to a beautiful sea-side village without losing its charm and charisma. Ogunquit is essentially a tranquil, small village where you can enjoy the simple pleasures at a peaceful pace, no matter how crowded it may become at times. It offers almost everything to almost everyone as perhaps nowhere else in the country can.
One of the biggest draws to this beautiful part of southern Maine is its 3 1/2 mile white sandy beach which has been ranked as one of the Top 25 Beaches in the US by TripAdvisor.
The quaint New England flavor of the Village Center is bustling during the summer season with its countless restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, inns, hotels and guesthouses. Getting around Ogunquit in season is remarkably easy using the Ogunquit Trolley Company, an enjoyable way to see the town in style. Let the Trolley take you to the beach, shops, restaurants, local hotspots and museums or simply sit back and enjoy all the breathtaking sights.
Ogunquit is also home to Perkins Cove, a picturesque small harbor, dotted by numerous fishing and pleasure boats and crowned by a unique hand-operated draw-footbridge. Perkins Cove is also full of boutique shopping, art galleries and several fine restaurants offering mouth-watering locally caught seafood.
Ogunquit is an active artist community. Artists discovered Ogunquit's inspirational scenery over a century ago. They helped transform the quaint fishing hamlet into one of the most picturesque and enjoyed seaside resort villages in New England. You'll enjoy a wide array of galleries, shops and boutiques that feature the works of local Maine artists. While you're in Ogunquit you must experience the famous Ogunquit Playhouse. The playhouse is known as America's Foremost Summer Theatre, attracting Broadway actors like Sally Struthers, Andrea McArdle and Leslie Uggams.
For those that enjoy the outdoors and nature, walking, jogging and biking are all popular in Ogunquit. Each year more than 100,000 people trek along the famous, Marginal Way. The Marginal Way is a 1.25 mile walking path that connects the center of the village to Perkins Cove. This easy walk wraps along the rugged coastline, providing beautiful views of the beaches, open ocean and harbor. It's one of the most photographed and painted spots along the southern Maine coastline.
This little jewel on the coast of Maine shouldn't be missed. Once you visit, you'll realize why people come back year after year to enjoy all that Ogunquit has to offer.
