Ogunquit Activities
Antique Hunting
Ogunquit and the surrounding area offers some of the best antique hunting anywhere. The 1999 Farmers Almanac identifies this region as one of the better known antiques shopping areas in the United States. You'll find everything from "Mom and Pop" shops to huge antique malls. If this is your thing, boy are you in for a treat!
Beach
Three miles of beautiful white sandy beach, rated as one of the best beaches in America. It's the reason Ogunquit exists.
Boat Cruises
Several boat cruises run out of Perkins Cove, from a Nubble Light House cruise, to whale watching, to lobstering, to deep sea fishing.
Day Trip to Kennebunkport
Some call it Bush Country, but the hats are fabulous. Dock Square is as cute a town square as one will find in New England. There is an excellent selection of restaurants, and it's only 20 minutes away.
