Explore Ogunquit year round

Escape to Ogunquit, recognized by Travel + Leisure again in 2023 as one of its 17 delightful U.S. beach towns, thanks to our laid-back vibe and stunning coastal views!

Appropriately translated from the Abenaki language as “beautiful place by the sea,” Ogunquit features one of Tripadvisor’s 2023 Top 25 Beaches in the U.S., with miles of pristine sand.

What’s here besides the beach? For starters, traverse the world-renowned Marginal Way cliff walk from downtown to Perkins Cove. Relish the cuisine offered by more than 50 restaurants. Select eclectic treasures at our local independent shops. Immerse yourself in Ogunquit’s role in American art and our nightlife, from large scale Broadway musicals to local music and dancing.

No doubt some of our laid-back vibe comes from the fact that our coastal village is a prime LGBTQ+ destination. Many of our businesses are gayowned and operated.

Welcome to our community; we’re so glad you’re here. Relax, explore, repeat!
