More from Ogunquit

Ogunquit Rocks by Cole Scott 

This is the beach we clambered down to when the tide was out.  It's below Marginal Way, pictured in this post. My husband submitted this and a few others to a gallery in the town for jurying.  If they like them, he'll get a showing!

Words of Wisdom from Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

~Mark Twain

Photo of Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, ME. where we spent five wonderful days over the Memorial holiday.

The cove is a tiny peninsula dotted with this harbor of fishing and excursion boats, restaurants, shoppes, and delightful places to walk and sit. We had a fantastic lobster dinner here one night and a couple of great lunches and morning coffee after a long walk along Marginal Way, a glimpse of which may be seen below.

Ogunquit reminded me of Nantucket without the rigid architectural requirements. In Nantucket, all homes have to be natural wood shingles and conform to the way they were built and/or looked originally. There's a sameness to it that I don't care for. Ogunquit obviously has planning and building codes to conform to the quaintness of the town but there is more diversity.
