Ogunquit
is located along Highway 1 near the Atlantic seacoast and the New Hampshire state line. This quaint village became a resort in the 1880s and gained fame as an artists’ colony. Today, Ogunquit blends coastal ambience with good style and good eating. Parents love its protected beach and family-friendly environment, with three miles of sand and surf, a boardwalk and snack bars. Shore Road takes you into downtown, past the 100-foot Bald Head Cliff with spectacular views up and down the coast. But, beware – the surf can be quite wild here on a stormy day! Perkins Cove, a neck of land connected to the mainland by a pedestrian drawbridge has a jumble of tourist shops, art galleries and restaurants. You can also stroll out along Marginal Way, a mile-long footpath that hugs the rocky shore to a point known as Israel’s Head. It has benches along the way to stop and take in the view. Ogunquit is also home to two beautiful golf courses and a trolley system that will take you from your hotel to shopping or to the beach.

Ogunquit Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The southwestern tip of Maine, just across the New Hampshire state line, enjoys a four-season climate without the frigid temperatures of the northeastern part of the state. While the weather can change quickly in Maine (from sunny to stormy,) the seasons are pretty predictable. Fall is a favorite time of the year for many, with mild sunny days and crisp cool nights. With its proximity to the ocean, this part of Maine enjoys mild summers with cool ocean breezes and temperatures that rarely go over 80 degrees. Rain is possible anytime of the year. Visitors should come prepared for anything - temperatures in Maine have been known to swing 20 degrees in less than an hour. At times, the wind along the coast picks up, making it seem even cooler.
