Ogunquit
Maine
It’s small wonder that “Ogunquit” translates from the Abenaki
Indian language as “beautiful place by the sea”. This former
fishing village on Maine’s southern coast is defined by its sandy
beaches and vibrant arts scene. Stroll Marginal Way that runs from
the harbour to Ogunquit Beach, passing grassy dunes, granite cliffs
and quaint New England cottages.
