Pure magic to walk this beach with a few other lucky souls. The weather was cloudy with sunny breaks and in the low 70s at the end of October. The sand is white, soft, clean and provides a great base for walking. But the surf and tide is the magic. Truly beautiful!

There's plenty of beach here. We walked in the sand on a warm day in February. There were many other people enjoying the beach, and the waves brought out surfers. We found parking and a public entrance just across the street. At this time of year there was no parking fee. Stop signs at crosswalks keep you from having to wait for traffic. We saw dogs and metal detectors.

I always stop here when on Route One going from Saco to Portsmouth NH (except on a summer weekend, when it's just too crowded). This time it was really nice -- warm sun for mid March and several tourists, but not thousands (again, like on a summer weekend). It's no wonder that the beach is among the top ten in the country.

This beach is fantastic! I have been to many beaches along the Jersey shore, in Florida and California. Ogunquit Beach is by far one of the most beautiful. The sand is the softest I've ever felt on a beach. It's packed hard, so you can actually push a stroller down to the water's edge-how cool is that? The beach is a wide expense of sand, so I had my privacy, unlike other beaches I've gone to. The waves when I was there were small and pleasant to watch; I did not go into the water because I came later in the day for sunset, and it was quite chilly. The show the sky put on for sunset was really beautiful. Ogunquit must be experienced; pictures will not do justice! Oh, and they have a seating area with wooden Adirondack chairs where you can sit and watch the water. I highly recommend this beach!

We once again returned to the beach at Ogunquit for another summer visit. In fact, while we usually go to York Beach, we skipped in completely this year due to the challenge of getting our beach wagon down onto the sand (only one ramp makes for a long haul through the sand). For the first couple of visits, we went to the Footbridge portion of the beach (smaller parking lot). The only issue we have with this section of the beach is getting to the beach. We are in our mid 60's so getting our beach wagon (with chairs, umbrella, etc) up the path and up and over the walkway was quite tiring with the hills. Our next two visits, we went to the main parking lot at Ogunquit, and with a small ramp down to the sand, had a much easier time. Two suggestions I would make would be: 1. get there early! While it is a huge parking lot, it fills up quickly, usually by 8:30 am! 2. download the parking app (ParkMobile) on to your phone so you don't need to stand in line to use the pay parking machine...it will save you time! The beach is beautiful and very well tended.

Beautiful beach to visit with family. It gets quite crowded but people were very considerate, no loud speakers, no shaking off sandy towels or walking over other peoples areas. The water was very cold but also very clean and clear. It’s shallow, I had to walk fairly far to get waist deep. There are waves though they were not huge, at least when we were there. They were just enough for boogie boarding (which A LOT of people were doing) or for kids to play but not enough to really worry about them. The high tide goes very high up the beach then leaves a lot of space when it goes out which helps with the crowding. We got there around 10am and the town parking lot was full. We had to walk a bit to find a spot on the beach. I’d recommend going very early for a good parking spot and beach spot or later like noon-ish, though parking will be harder then. Parking is pricey, especially at peak times. But later in the day the price goes down. Overall, great beach, but be ready for some crowds and parking problems.

Tons of room to roam at low tide and great waves. When the tide gets high the beach shrinks a lot, and there are so many people — get there early to set up your spot. On the back side of the beach is a great spot to float on the current. There are bathrooms, multiple options for food, showers to wash off, and a place to pull in and drop off/pickup.

We went to Ogunquit Beach at 11 am on Monday. The parking was free for 30 minutes. They charged $40 a full day. We took pictures then we left. The beach was wide and clean but busy. The beach is good for walking and swimming.
