The 3.5 miles of pillowy sand covering the southern Maine oasis of Ogunquit is among the most immaculate stretches of coastline in New England, if not anywhere. Of course, it can be near impossible to appreciate, thanks to the throngs of lobster-red tourists that descend from French Canada and other points north. In-the-know beach nuts avoid the main strip altogether and head across town to this more secluded spot, reachable by a short hike along a plank-and-piling footbridge over the Ogunquit River.

 In 1923, the magnificent Marginal Way was given as a gift to the Town of Ogunquit by Josiah Chase of York and is now a paved footpath beginning (or ending) in a corner of Oarweed Cove near the harbor, then running for 1 ¼ miles to the marvelous expanse of Ogunquit Beach. Once called “the margin” because of its patterned development along the rocky edge of the cliff, the origin and preservation of this truly precious piece of natural beauty was not the result of far-sighted conservation planning, but of the dealings of a shrewd businessman and some stubborn, persuasive “locals.” This delightful, exhilarating walk meanders by tangled bayberry and bittersweet bushes, gnarled shrubs of fragrant pink and white sea roses, shaded alcoves formed by wind-twisted trees jutting out onto high granite outcroppings, and humbling views of the mighty Atlantic with its varying seasonal moods. Although the bends and inclines along the way are rather gentle, most walkers will choose one of the thirty memorial benches dotting the path to sit and rest, to contemplate and sometimes to paint the panorama of sea, surf and sky which daily unfolds amid noisy protests from the roiling ocean and screeching gulls. After a freak storm damaged the path in 1991, the Committee to Restore the Marginal Way and a capital fund were established to ensure its continued preservation and maintenance. Each year more than 100,000 people take this scenic path along the rugged cliff line, and, while Maine has several similar ocean walkways, Ogunquit’s Marginal Way is undoubtedly the most unique, the most popular, the most painted and the most beloved.

The most beautiful little museum in the world.”
—Frances Henry Taylor, Director, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Upon entering the Museum, visitors look directly through the glass wall of
its main gallery to the dramatic coast, the ocean and the far horizon.
The Museum building, now approximately 7,500 square feet, is surrounded
by three acres of landscaped grounds, with a reflecting pool and sculpture gardens.
