Ogunquit is located on Maine’s Atlantic coast close to the state’s southern border. The name, given by the Abenaki tribe, means ‘beautiful place by the sea.’ Once a fishing village, it is now an artist’s haven and tourist destination known for it’s rugged beauty and rocky coastline. The Ogunquit Museum of American Art was founded in the 1950’s by a student working within the famous Perkins Cove artist’s colony. Galleries are located throughout town and the streets are often alive with outdoor art fairs in the summer months. Ogunquit Performing Arts and the Ogunquit Playhouse offer year round theater and live music performances. Visit Main Beach, rated among New England’s top ten beaches, embark on a sailing or fishing cruise from Perkins Cove, and enjoy fresh Maine lobster at the town’s seafood restaurants.
