Things To Do
Marginal Way
This is where Armard proposed to Jessica... on bench #8 if you wanted to see the EXACT spot! This is one of our favorite walks and things to do when we visit Ogunquit. The Marginal Way is approximately 1-¼ miles (just over 2 km) long from the entrance on Shore Road between the Spar Hawk and the Anchorage to Perkins Cove, with 39 benches for unobstructed viewing.
