Ogunquit ME Romantic Getaways - Honeymoon & Romantic Hotels

The town of Ogunquit is a relatively new town because it was incorporated only in 1980 but its name has Indian origins and the area occupied by the town is considered as one of Maine’s oldest destinations. With the fascinating fusion of the old and the new, the Ogunquit may just be the next major destination for romantic getaways. For example, to prevent private companies to monopolize the 3.5-mile Ogunquit Beach and keep it accessible to the locals, the town has declared the area as a public park. But to preserve the beauty of the powdery white-sand and keep the area uncluttered, the beach can be accessed only from three points: the Main Beach through Beach Street, the Footbridge Beach via the arched pedestrian bridge from Ocean Street, and the North Beach through Bourne Avenue.

Thus, to find Ogunquit romantic hotels and other accommodations, these three points are the best areas to stay during the romantic getaway. Besides the beach, the Ogunquit has other tourist sites for romantic getaways. One is the Ogunquit Heritage Museum that was originally the house of the 18th-century sea captain James Winn. In this museum, the couple will be enthralled by the romance of maritime history. Another place to visit is the Perkins Cove where art galleries and fine restaurants are found. From the Cove, the couple can proceed to the famous Marginal Way, a paved 1.25-mile footpath that was given by Josiah Chase of York to the Town of Ogunquit. A walk through the Marginal Way can be the most romantic moment of the couple’s vacation.
