A Great Museum is Not the Only Great Thing about Ogunquit
Things to do in and around the "Beautiful Place by the Sea"

We do want you to enjoy the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, but there are a great many other reasons to visit the area. On your way to or from the Museum, Ogunquit offers plenty of sightseeing and activities: Fabulous Maine coast scenery, miles of magnificent sandy beaches, fine dining, art galleries and studios, boutiques, summer theater, whale watching, deep-sea fishing, top-rated golf courses and many more. For a more complete listing visit www.ogunquit.org.

Here are a few of our favorite local attractions:

Barnacle Billy's on the water in Perkins Cove has been serving fine seafood for almost 50 years. Indoor and sundeck seating.

 

One of the most beautiful seaside walks in New England, Ogunquit's Marginal Way stretches 1.5 miles from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit Beach. It's an easy walk on a paved path, with plenty of benches to relax on and enjoy the view. Donations accepted. For more information, visit SeacoastNH.com. (photo by J. Dennis Robinson)
