Day 2 - Marginal Way, Ogunquit

Today was another picture-perfect day in the mid- 70’s for our visit to Ogunquit, meaning “beautiful place by the sea” in the Indigenous Abenaki language, and a walk along Marginal Way.  It is a scenic 1.5 mile cliff walk that hugs the Atlantic Ocean, starting at Shore Road in Ogunquit and ending at Perkins Cove.  As you walk along the paved path you get stunning views of the ocean, and pass by rocky cliffs with breaking surf, little cove beaches, tide pools and also the Lobster Point Lighthouse.  On our way north last year we stopped at Perkins Cove and walked just the southern part of the trail so this year we started at the north end in Ogunquit and walked the entire trail. There are plenty of benches along the way where you can rest and take it all in.  Sometimes you just want to sit by the ocean….watch the waves, forget the world, and just breathe!
