I highly recommend walking along the Marginal Way. You can walk the entire walk from Perkins Cove, Oqunquit to the beach at Ogunquit or part of it. Keep in mind that at high tide you will see more of the ocean. At lower tide there are several spots where you can walk down directly onto the sand or on the... more

Marginal Way in Ogunquit is the quintessential Maine experience. Breathtaking views of the ocean, craggy shoreline and picturesque lighthouse. If you are traveling through the area by car it is worth the stop for a few photographs. more

My husband and I just returned from Marginal Way. It was truly beautiful and extradordinary. Even after reading the great reviews on this site, it still exceeded our expectations. It is impossible to describe the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks. I expected it to be cold because it is mid-November, but the weather was gorgeous, and the... more

The Marginal Way is a MUST DO when in Ogunquit. To avoid the traffic and parking mess, take the trolley to Perkins Cove and follow the signs. Except for the first hundred feet or so the path is paved with asphalt. There are benches along the path to sit and enjoy the ocean views. The path ends at Shore Road... more

The Marginal way is a footpath/trail right along the ocean. It is seriously so beautiful and I will post some pictures with this review so you really know not to miss it. It really makes you think how beautiful our planet is and just how calming and relaxing the walk is. There is benches you can stop at and just... more

The Marginal Way is one of the nicest places on the planet. Simple beauty. We go every year and can't wait for our first walk of the season on The Marginal Way. Be sure to explore Perkin's Cove (we always eat at the Oarweed - right at the end of the Marginal Way); Nothing better than Ogunquit! more

One of our relatives who frequently visits Ogunquit and stays at the Beachmere said that when he sits on the deck and sees and hears the ocean surf, he thinks maybe he has died and gone to heaven. How can one describe the Marginal Way to those who have not experienced it! It is so wonderful, so relaxing, so refreshing... more

we went to maine in October 2003 and stayed in york beach . The last day we drove to Ogunquit and found the Marginal Way. It was so peaceful and we took the best pictures. We are returning this summer with our whole family. We are taking our relatives from Virginia and they can't wait. The area is so beautiful... more

Either walking or sitting on a bench along the Marginal is a true joy. Looking out at the water and the rocky coast is a stress reliever. If you haven't been there as the sun is coming up you've really missing something. Treat yourself and do it. more
