  1. We just got back from this part of Maine. I’d always wanted to it’s iconic rocky coast and I was not disappointed. Every beach and coastline has its own personality. Each lighthouse its own beauty. Please treat yourself to this treasure one day.

  2. We have been going to Ogunquit for o50 years, first with my husband’s family and now ours, with daughters, sons-in-laws and grandkids. The Marginal Way is a favorite, with low tide access to the “Little Beach,” much less crowded and more picturesque than the “Big Beach.”

  3. We visit Ogunquit every year and stay at the Grand Hotel on Shore road, eat at Clay Hill Farm, Mike Clam Shack, Billy’s Two and Billy’s Chowder House, Love Maine and the people there. From Port St.Lucie, FL.

    1. I’ve been going there for years and have always stayed at Beechwood. I live in Florida now and plan on a visit, also in Oct., to Ogunquit and Marginal Way. Love that area. (: Tena

  4. I have been going to Ogunquit for 30 years. Marginal way is my “happy place “. There is something both magical and mesmerizing about this peaceful respite. I’ve brought many friends and family here and everyone immediately falls in love with this place. When I m back home in New Jersey and feeling stressed I go to the Marginal Way in my mind, then all is good again!

  5. Love Ogunquit. Love going on the Marginal Way walking into town lot of nice shops to shop in we want to go back we haven’t been there in about 5 years but we plan on going back

  6. All the comments have made me homesick for New England where I grew up and was educated there. Loved this part of Maine.
