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.

With art galleries, fresh seafood, and the summer stock Ogunquit Playhouse, the town of Ogunquit is a favorite vacation destination.

A scenic 1.5 mile oceanside cliffwalk.
Reviewed By billwetherhornsr - Greenfield, United States
A gorgeous seaside walk on a well paved path that twists and turns its way from Beach Street to end in the picturesque village of Perkins Cove, perhaps one of the prettiest hamlets in Southern Maine. Tiny shops and restaurants wind their way around this small village, each on begging to be explored. Enjoy a succulent lobster roll at one of the dozen restuaranta and watch the boats glide into the cove. Cross the white drawbridge and enjoy the view. Then make your way back onto Marginal Way to enjoy the ocean vistas. A perfect Maine day!

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 !
