We've been going to Ogunquit for the past 9 years. We love it! There is little that is ocean front there, in the traditional sense. The place we will stay again this year is Anchorage by the Sea. It is on the marginal path and overlooks the craggy rocks a the ocean. What everyone has said about the beaches there is true. They are beautiful, albeit cold. The thing I love about the Anchorage is that they have a beautiful pool area that has little boys to get you mudslides as you sun yourself and read. There are two hot tubs that are actually hot, unlike most that we've been in that are just warm. There is an inside pool and a large lawn area for relaxing at night, watching the ocean, sipping whatever adult beverage you've brought from your room.
Our second favorite place is the Juniper Hill. You can see it and its sister properties at
www.ogunquit.com. We've also stayed at the Milestone. Both are within walking distance to the beach. The former goes to the Maine Beach and the latter to Footbridge Beach. I like Footbridge Beach better because there are less crowds.
We only moved our car twice last year. Once to go to the Ogunquit Playhouse to see Aida and the other time was for my DD and I to make our annual trek to Freeport. I've never paid more than $10 in the LLBean Outlet for a pair of pants.
Ooh, and remember, when you're driving through NH, make sure to stop at a liquor store. The prices are much better there than in PA, at least and you get a better selection than what is available in Ogunquit.
I can hardly wait for July!
