Two main sections make up the town: Perkins Cove and the Village. Ogunquit measures just four square miles, but still, you may find yourself getting lost in the beauty that surrounds you. However, Ogunquit is not as remote it’s about 90 minutes from Boston and less than a half-hour from Portland. It’s also smaller, a bit more low-key, and not nearly as expensive-a winning threesome.
Both are just plain cute, quaint, and visually dramatic. Like Ptown, Ogunquit is a well-known New England gay resort town. It’s often called Maine’s answer to Provincetown, so let’s compare, contrast, and move on. Supposedly the name means “coastal lagoon.” But it’s more like Ogunquit, as in “Ogunquit my job and live out my days here.”
Ogunquit is just so damn charming you’ll feel like you’re walking around in a watercolor painting. The cliffs, the white sands, the evergreens-they all demand that you put away your cares and enjoy the moment.
