Looking for a charming New England town? Look no further than Ogunquit, Maine. Located on the southern part of coastal Maine, it is only about 90 minutes from Boston. Ogunquit is a small town in the off season with a population of only 927 in 2018, but it swells many more that that in the summer months. Why? The town’s unique name gives the first clue, which means in the indigenous Abenaki language "beautiful place by the sea". Ogunquit’s Beach is another big reason as a destination to escape the summer heat. The 3.5-mile-long beach is made of light sand on the Atlantic Ocean. Another attraction is the Marginal Way, a one mile trail that begins at the beach and allows visitors to walk above the rugged rocks below until it reaches another attraction, Perkins Cove, which is pictured in this photo. The cove has an interesting history. The cove was originally unprotected, and fisherman had to bring their boats onto land each evening to protect them. In order to solve this issue, they purchased land and dug a channel across it to create a tidewater basin, which is now known as Perkins Cove. The cove has a footbridge crossing it to allow boats with high masts to pass as they head out to the Atlantic Ocean. I shot this photo from the footbridge that shows the quaint cove.
