As we wrapped up our cruise near Portland it was time to set out to Ogunquit. Take 95 south to Highway 1 south and you will eventually find Ogunquit. Ogunquit meant "beautiful place by the sea" in the native language. One of Maine's slogans is "Life the way it should be". Both phrases catch the spirit of the place. One needs to take Ogunquit at its pace. If you were to try to be really active you would exhaust your options quickly and become restless. If you did almost nothing it wouldn't justify the costs of staying there. The best approach is to be laid back and take it as it comes.
We arrived at our B and B in the late afternoon and then went to the beach and the Marginal Way. Between that evening and the next morning I saw the major difference between high and low tide. Someday I'd like to learn more about this type of thing. We had some issues finding the Marginal Way from Shore Dr. but eventually a nice hotel employee let us go through their private property and onto the trail. It's a curby path with the jagged cliffs, small beaches, and ocean views to one side and hotels and oceanfront property to the other side.
By the time we arrived to Perkins Cove it was dark. We dined at Barnacle Billy's, a mainstay there with two different sets of atmosphere. Another delicous lobster dinner and we were back on our way for a night of rest. I was now in vacation mode. Life the way it should be.
