    We visited in the winter and every store in Perkins cove was closed except for Jackie’s too restaurant. It looked like it would be perfectly charming in the summer or at least fall or spring!

    Quaint footbridge bisecting the marina with amazing sunset views. Ate in restaurants for two great meals. The shops are interesting, but would avoid during tourist season, as is compact area with a 2 lane road leading in and out of the area, and of course...More

    We visited this town on a cold winter day in January, but it was absolutely a breathtaking view. It is a wonderful walk along the rocky coast. The path is so easy to walk. The shops and restaurants were mostly closed on a Wednesday, but...More

    Quaint New England Coast Village

    My family has had a house in Ogunquit for years. We come to Perkins Cove often to eat and wander through the galleries and shops. It is quaint - like so many New England coastal villages. There is a beautiful wooden bridge in the cove.

    Maine at its best

    This is one of the most picturesque spots on the east coast. Shops and restaurants at you feet. And for a real treat walk The Marginal Way.

    Local Shopping and Restaurants with Ocean Views

    Nice seafood restaurants with views of the ocean and many local shops all within walking distance. Try taking the Marignal Way walking trail from Ogunquit Beach to avoid paying for parking in Perkins Cove for more great views of the ocean.

    A must see in Ogunquit

    Beautiful scenery with lots of nice shops, places to eat and different types of boats that you can get a tour of the coast on. Also the starting point for Marginal Way, a wonderful walk along the ocean front.

    I THINK that some would be closed by then but we have not been there that late in the year for a long time. We usually go in September after the schools open and most, if not all, are still open then.
