Ogunquit means “beautiful place by the sea,” an Abenaki language’s description of the small Maine coastal town. With rolling waves, sandy shores, and quaint homes, there are endless places to stroll or simply sit to absorb the glorious scenery.
With a population of under fifteen hundred, according to the 2010 census, summer welcomes many more to the numerous hotels, cafes, restaurants and antique and gift shops. Known for its art colony, Ogunquit offers opportunities for paint on canvas to mimic the brilliant views.
Located just north of Boston with about an hour and a half drive, Ogunquit is near to both Portland and Biddeford. Settled in 1641, the area has something for every age level – we go there often, enjoying the variations of color with each season.
