It offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, rocky cliffs, houses, and beaches, featuring 39 benches and the Lobster Point Lighthouse. It is one of the best spots to see the sunrise! Do not be surprised if you see Plein Air painters, photographers and a wedding happening along the way too!
The Marginal Way is open year round, but is often not plowed or shoveled in the winter months. Note, dogs are welcome on the path from October 1 to March 31.
Village End of Marginal Way - Shore Road, Ogunquit

Lobster Point Lighthouse & Little Beach on Marginal Way - End of Isreal Head and Stearns Road, Ogunquit
Lobster Point Lighthouse is a charming, miniature, 23 feet tall "lighthouse" located halfway along the Marginal Way cliff path in Ogunquit. While it is a popular spot for photos, it is not an official aid to navigation; rather, it is a creative disguise for a pumping station. The original structure was built in 1948 by Winfield C.

Main Beach - End of Beach Street, Ogunquit
Main Beach is the southern most part of Ogunquit Beach and located closest to the center of the village. This section of the beach is located just across a small bridge, where you can see the Ogunquit River ending into the ocean. On the river side, many like to gather for wading without the waves on the ocean side. On the ocean side, we strongly recommend walking north a few hundred feet and setting up where there is more beach space, when it is high tide there is very little beach space on the most southern section.
There is a paid parking lot nearest the beach, which fills quickly in season. There is also a parking lot located on River Road just before the bridge.
Section 3 - End of Beach Street, Ogunquit
Section 3, on Main Beach and several hundred yards away from the southern entrance, is often where you can find the LGTBQ+ community gathering. It is usually marked by a pride flag in the sand.
On Labor Day weekend, join Mainestreet for their annual Mr. Gay Ogunquit contest on the beach!
Footbridge Beach - End of Ocean Street, Ogunquit

North Beach - End of Ocean Avenue, Wells
The most northern part of the beach border Moody Beach in Wells and is accessible via the end of Ocean Avenue in Wells. There is a paid parking and this is often not full in season and the beach is often the most quietest part of Ogunquit Beach.
