New England Vacation destinations  summaries
Spotlight on Ogunquit, ME

by Eric H., VisitingNewEngland.com

The scenic Perkins Cove Harbor, the beautiful Marginal Way hike along the cliffs and ocean, a premier New England beach scene, and a busy but quaint downtown make Ogunquit one of New England's most deservedly famous travel destinations. Wonderful oceanside seafood restaurants like Barnacle Billy's, theater at the Ogunquit Playhouse and appealing clothing, arts, gift and antique stores are just the beginning of a fun vacation.  Perhaps the biggest drawing card, however, is the sprawling, incredibly scenic and pure Ogunquit public beach. It's unusual to have this much public beach in Maine, so combining this great stretch with all the wonderful coastal attractions, fine dining and hotels for every taste result in a place we love and are confident that you will, too.
