Beautiful views, easy walk, short distance to Perkins Cove. Busy walking path, but enjoyable. Wear comfortable shoes and sunglasses. Plenty of benches along the way to stop regularly if desired. No dogs allowed and may be difficult in some areas for wheelchairs. Beautiful and fragrant roses along the way.

We just returned from Ogunquit, and this time we found the time to walk the marginal way.. it was a very nice walk and we got some lovely pictures. I would definitely recommend taking the 20-30 minutes and walking through the pathway which ends at Perkin's Cove. It's very picturesque!

a beautiful walk along the coast in ogunquit that offers up spectacular views that many times you just can't get at a shore destinations. it's a busy attraction but one you really should not miss. lots of benches for sitting along the way you can walk for minutes or hours .. many access points,, get a tourist map when you...

The views were beautiful but the path can be uneven in spots. A jogger brushed my 80 + year old aunt while running by and she fell. There are lots of benches along the path to relax and take in the sites.

We enjoyed this stroll in the morning but can imagine it gets pretty gridlocked in the peak season. Well worth it for wonderful views of crashing waves and rocky outcrops with a couple of small beaches to relax in if the tide is right.

Location away from roads meant very quiet grounds. Views excellent. Local food Fabulous. Route 1 easy to get around. Tried to get the hotdogs at Flo's on Rt. 1, but too mobbed! Ogunquit Lobster Pound twice...steamers, lobsters, deep dish pie, just wonderful.

Not worth driving here just for this. It's "OK"... but clearly there are hundreds of coastal walks in the U.S. and globally that are better. Parking is virtually non-existent in town. Markings to the walk are minimal. sorry... I've seen much better.

This beautiful walk was the highlight of our trip to this area. The views are breath taking as the pathway winds along the rocky cliffs. Benches allow for rest stop to simply enjoy the view. Easy walk to start at Perkins Cove and go into town or continue to the beaches. Looking forward to visiting again.
