The word "Ogunquit” means “Beautiful-Place-by-the-Sea”..... so named by the Native Americans who spent their summers hunting and fishing on the sunny shores.....
The mouth of the tidal Ogunquit River separates three miles of white sandy beach from the craggy granite ledge which dives into the Atlantic.
Everyone knows that the Atlantic is cold (even in the summer!), but did you know that the Tidal River is up to 15 degrees warmer when the tide is going out?
Millions of visitors have walked the Marginal Way, a scenic cliff-walk that meanders along the ocean for over a mile.
Ogunquit has something for everyone ..... Theater lovers flock to the many playhouses for the summer stock performances, many with the actual Broadway performers in the lead roles. Visitors rave about the assortment of galleries, boutiques, gift shops, and day spas.
Discriminating diners have an abundant selection of fine restaurants to satisfy nearly every taste - including lobster!
Recreation enthusiasts love Ogunquit because our front yard is an ocean and our backyard is the "Vacationland" known as Maine. You can try deep-sea fishing departing from Perkins Cove, cast a rod into the river, even learn about trapping lobster with a licensed captain, take a cocktail cruise along the shore, or play a round of golf at some of New England's top rated courses.
Sailing, sea kayaking, surfing and whale watching are also popular activities as well as hiking or biking on nearby Mount Agamenticus or the Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm, as well as the Rachael Carson National Wildlife Preserve.
Some come and visit The Mariner Resort and enjoy 'The Beautiful Place By The Sea'!
