Parking lots are fully open, and reservations are not required. Dogs are not permitted on the beach from April 1-September 8. Over 2 months after the town of Ogunquit, Maine closed the Marginal Way scenic cliff walk to protect residents and visitors from the spread of COVID, they have now decided to reopen the landmark pathway subject to some limitations. Dogs are allowed on the beach at Wells all year round subject to certain restrictions. A dog-free zone operates for the first yards of beach from the main entrance so that people can dig in the sand without fear of finding something unpleasant, but there are no restrictions from the pinewoods entrances.
Is there parking at the beach? There are also several private lots near the beaches. There are lifeguards on duty from June until early September. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower available at Main Beach. Ogunquit is about as safe as you can get.
In , for example, crime statistics for Ogunquit show that there were zero murders, zero forcible rapes, zero robberies, and zero vehicle thefts. Some crime, however, did occur: three aggravated assaults, six burglaries, and thirty-nine larceny thefts. Ogunquit has been my home away from home since I was a little girl.
The updated article captures the essence of a Marginal Way experience; the bold view of nature, the tranquility of the place and the path provides people to walk freely on an oceanside public pedestrian path.
Love the openness and acceptance of all in Ogunquit! Already have our reservations for next year! I had my first birthday in Ogunquit 55 years ago.. I am fortunate to say I have finally purchased a home in Wells Maine at this time of my life….
The views from marginal way are amazing- no better place to take a walk. We have been coming to Ogunquit for many years and always walk The Marginal Way and it is spectacular. We have gotten several friends to visit Ogunquit and they too have liked it!
Perkins Cove is also a very interesting place. I particularly like the bridge which is operated by people. Of course, my wife loves the stores in the Cove. Such a special place for our family. Thanks for the reminder of how beautiful our favorite walk is. We last visited Thanksgiving By the way, that cute little lighthouse is actually a sewer pumping station I was told. Someone more informed can tell you the details, but we loved this clever solution. Maine and the Marginal Way are the best!
Thanks for taking me home with these awesome pictures—Florida is lovely—but Maine is home. How can one explain the aching, homesick feeling when we think of your beautiful area, when I was born and raised in western PA? Every one of your pictures brought back very special memories, and a warm smile.
Thank you for sharing, once again! I am sitting in my home in Michigan watching snow accumulate not forecast and too early I am realizing it was just 3 weeks ago my sister and I were walking Marginal Way. We cut off the path this year and walked through some of the residential areas back to Shore Road and it was so peaceful and quiet. I first went to Ogunquit over 50 years ago and it has changed very little over the years.
We are lucky enough to stay at the hotel where the Marginal Way starts and always walk it at least partway. Ogunquit is really a hidden gem. My family has its roots in Maine and I own property in York county since I now live in Florida but return every year. Always make a trip to Oqunquit Beach and bring family and friends to share in the beauty of the Marginal Way.
Thank you for the wonderful article which captured the feel of being there and smelling the ocean and feeling the breezes. I am still a good old New England Yankee at heart. I have been visiting Maine for over 55 years. We go back at least 4 times a year now in my adult life. It is the most beautiful place to be. We stay in Ogunquit most of the time but grew up staying in York Beach. I love the rustic look that still exists there and the Marginal Way is a beauteous adventure.
It truly is my happy place! We discovered Ogunquit 25 years ago when vacationing the Northeast coast. We have been going back every year since.
We really enjoy getting up early every morning and walking the Marginal Way to Perkins Cove catching the sunrise along the way. The best blueberry pancakes you will ever eat at the Maine Diner.
The beaches are beautiful and fresh seafood everywhere. We will be there the end of July, staying at the Meadowmere. Where do we find the Maine Diner? Thank you. A visit to the Christmas Shop was a must and then off to walk off our lunch on the Marginal Way. With our 3 boys scooting around us it was always a wonderful place to stop and admire the beauty around us. This article on the Marginal Way has brought back many happy memories. Thank you for this beautiful pictorial of my beloved home town!
I live thousands of miles away now, but get back every year to visit my favorite bench. No matter where I am, any time of year, I can picture myself sitting on the rocks along Marginal Way and instantly relax. Its a spiritual and magical place that should be experienced by all….
I want that rock all to myself! Oh, such a feast for the eyes and the heart!!! I LOVE Marginal Way, and you have brought me back to its majesty with these gorgeous photos and storybook trip down memory lane. I want to go back…right now!!! Click here to cancel reply.
