Visit Ogunquit, Maine. It’s Worth It!

Visiting Ogunquit, Maine is no longer a remote location but rather one of the most popular summer tourist spots in the USA. Ogunquit to Kennebunkport, Maine is where the 1% of the 1% go for a vacation and build their summer homes. Regardless of the roots, the location is breathtaking and worth the effort to see and experience. For the rest of us – we go there to see the beautiful location but the homes of the 1% of the 1%. Its interesting to me to see how the super ro=ich spend their summer vacation.

Visit Ogunquit, Maine

One sunny morning, I took the trolly from York to Short Beach and took the Blue Bus to Perkins Cove. At Perkins Cove, I walked Marginal Way – a walk along the coastline that has great views of people, homes, and the shoreline. It takes about 20 minutes in each direction. On this morning, I went early, which I preferred, because the number of people on the walkway wasn’t too crowded.

Go to the town early, before the day starts for the businesses to enjoy the peacefulness of the village.

After you visit Perkins Cove and have a coffee and a little breakfast, enjoy the fantastic view.

You can even book a charter to go fishing or lobstering – if you want to go out on the water.

Look at the boats or go out fishing.

If you are in Perkin’s Cove you must walk the Marginal Way – it has fantastic views and great people watching.

Marginal Way Walk – takes about 20 minutes on a hot day, the day I went it’s was scorching and humid, it was over 100 degrees by noon. Thank God for the sea breeze.
