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.
