Marginal
Way in Ogunquit, Maine, stands as one of New England's most popular
summer
coastal walks, but even with the warm season crowds this oceanside
jewel
resonates with a feeling of pristine, scenic solitude. Walking the 1
1/4-mile paved walking path alongside the rocky cliffs and views of the
majestic Atlantic Ocean, Marginal Way feels like
Maine and looks like Maine in its highest quintessential
form. With salt-sea air intact to cleanse the soul, a plethora of
stores and seafood restaurants at Perkins Cove on one side, and the
spectacular stretch of sand and water at Ogunquit Beach on the other
side, Marginal Way is Maine's version of the Oreo cookie: just as
delicious on the inside (the walk) as it is on the outside (Perkins
Cove, Ogunquit Beach).
Primarily
a summer destination (with vibrant flowers along the way to enhance to
overall experience), we also recommend walking Marginal
Way (or sitting one one of the many benches along the way) in
the fall time -- not much foliage, but colorful in its own right as a
wonderfully refreshing autumn coastal New England spot to stroll.
For
more information on Ogunquit travel and many of its attractions, we
recommend
