We walked the Marginal Way from our downtown Ogunquit lodging (see separate review for The Terrace by the Sea) for an early dinner/late lunch). The end stop was in beautiful Perkins Cove. Due to Covid or perhaps off season (first full week of October), several of the quaint shops were not open. The shops that were open offered a variety of goods, souvenirs, jewelry and artwork. We found the shops diligent in their Covid protocols. Parking was all metered and seemed plentiful for the off season- not sure it would be sufficient on a busier in season visit. This picturesque enclave was a great way to dine after our Marginal Way stroll. We enjoyed the Lobster Shack meal of lobster, lobster roll and chowder. The public restrooms were clean and the signage at the pier was helpful. There are several boat tours available at the pier as well. Many of the restaurants offered take out or outside dining. It was a pleasant way to spend a few hours and offered great picture taking opportunities.

Peaceful spot next to shops and the ocean. Just a great space to explore and watch the lobster boats come in for off load. Great stop after Marginal Way. The pay parking lot is full but there are always people leaving so we were able to park the two times we went there.

Beautiful place to explore nature. The marginal walk is fantastic, the cove is appealing, the bridge the raises up for tall boats to enter or leave, it has fishing cruises, sightseeing cruises, sailboat cruises, great seafood restaurants, unique stores that are quaint, bathrooms available, just a fun place to walk, it could take half your day or more depending on what you do here. Parking is a problem at busy times, and you must pay by the hour.
