The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Ogunquit, Maine (ME)
The motto of the resort town of Ogunquit, Maine, is "beautiful place by the sea," and with three and a half miles of sheltered white sand beaches, the residents are definitely not lying. Take a walk along the Marginal Way, a path that winds along rocky cliffs overlooking the ocean, or explore the town center on the local public transit - an old fashioned trolley. With art galleries, fresh seafood, and the summer stock Ogunquit Playhouse, the town of Ogunquit is a favorite vacation destination.

Just saw Jersey Boys for the 19th time and the performance at Ogunquit Playhouse was easily among the best productions I've seen, including the five times I've seen it on Broadway. These four men and, in fact, the entire cast, were awesome ! Extremely talented and genuinely excited by the audience reaction. Excellent acoustics. Great last-minute seats. I can honestly say I've never seen a bad show at Ogunquit. All shows are extremely professionally cast and acted. You can't miss if you enjoy theater. Ogunquit is the best !

This is a very unique library. It is not a town library, but it is the only library in Ogunquit. It is a privately funded library which is supported by endowments and contributions. The library is in a beautiful stone building (with a great stone fire place ). Mrs Conarroe had the original part of the library built for the town in 1897 to commemorate her husband. The Conarroes, who were from Philadelphia, spent their summers in Ogunquit and loved the town. The library was enlarged in 1914. The inside is charming and quaint -- a real treat for library lovers or anybody who appreciates historical buildings.
