Nice shops, but crowded during the summer months. Very hard to drive or park in this area. Better to park near Ogunquit Beach and walk to Perkins Cove via the Marginal Way. Nice places to eat. The shops have predictable, somewhat pricey tourist stuff.

Perkin's Cove is very New England, it has some wonderful views, nice vessels, some great spots to eat, and the perfect place to find sail from. We took a sunset sail on "the gift" out of the cove and I would most definitely recommend it, it was an hour and a half and WELL worth the 30$, the boat was... More

Tiny take-out lobster place in Perkins Cove. $10.95 whole steamed lobster. You can take it back to your hotel or eat on the waterfront at the picnic tables in Perkins Cove. Closes about 7PM so get there early.

The town is cute, the harbor and the draw bridge cute; the shops varied and the ocean walkway and view wonderful. Definitely worth a visit.

This is what you expect in a small New England town. A nice way to spend a beautiful afternoon visiting the shops.

Walked to Perkins Cove, had supper there and walked around to the various shops and watched the boats come in and out.

We visited Perkins Cove to walk the Marginal Way in late May. Parking was easy since it was early in the season, however, they have a trolley in the summer which makes it very accessible. Nice shops and terrific restaurants - especially Jackie's Too which we really enjoyed. The prices were very reasonable and the wait-staff accommodaing.
