A gem of not only Maine, but of all of New England. It's my "sanctuary". Visit during any season for such breathtaking views and feelings. It "calls" to me. It's not only beautiful, but also helps the economy with its many quaint shops and the important fishing industry--particularly its active lobstering.

A trip to Southern Maine Coast is not complete unless you visit Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, walk the Marginal Way Coastal Path, and sit back and enjoy one of the scenic boat rides on The Finestkind Cruise to Nubble Lighthouse or the Sunset Cruise. Google Finestkind for complete history and other cruises available. Enjoy a mixed drink, wine, or beer from a fully stocked CASH ONLY bar while listening to a narration of historical and local information. Take photos of "the most photographed Lighthouse " The best Ocean Breeze while "chillaxin". Finestkind Cruises in Perkins Cove Ogunquit Maine ♥

Went on noon Nubble Lighthouse boat excursion two days ago to get out on the water and try to beat the heat.. Gabby was our boat tour guide. She shared a lot of historical information and several silly jokes to lighten the atmosphere. She also serves as bartender. The stories about the light house history were wonderful and we're able to snap some beautiful pics of the lighthouse and surrounding area. Great time. VERY PLEASANT CREW. Highly recommend this boat cruise.

Very nice area - walk, sit, shop, eat. We parked down the street and walked into the cove. Parking was limited to 2 hours in the cove parking lot. Very busy area on a Sunday but very enjoyable. Entrance to the cliff walk as well

We try to get to Ogunquit at least once a year. Perkins Cove is a highlight of the trip. It is the perfect New England experience. Easily reachable by walking along the marginal way from the center of town or driving to the cove.

Beautiful day at the cove! We arrived around 11:30am and paid for parking in a close lot. We went up on the drawbridge and into a couple of shops before walking 2/3 of the Marginal Way. It was lovely. We paused at several stops to enjoy. If we were staying over in Ogunquit, I would have come down in the early morning to appreciate the locale. There was a lot of construction going on, which probably bothered some due to the noise. We returned to the cove and ate lunch at Jeannie's, stopped again at the pottery shop, and then went on to our next destination. Just FYI, I had originally booked one night at the Anchorage in Ogunquit and one at 16 Bay View in Camden. We decided that it would be less rushed to drop one night and stay two nights in one location before heading to Bar Harbor. We chose to spend that time in Camden and were glad we did. We really enjoyed Camden. You can see my review there.
