York County must see attractions

1. Ogunquit Beach

Smell the salt air and walk with the sand beneath your feet at Ogunquit Beach. The beach lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ogunquit River. It is within convenient walking distances from the town center. Explore its 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) of shoreline and enjoy the sea and surf.

A crowded beach with people sunbathing, children playing, and umbrellas providing shade.

2. Marginal Way

Set between land and sea, Marginal Way is a 1.25-mile (2-kilometer) cliff walk between Ogunquit Beach and Perkins Cove. Watch Atlantic Ocean waves crashing into the rocks and spraying the tide pools beside the path, while surfers and divers venture out into the salty water. Considered one of the most walkable communities in Maine, Ogunquit is understandably proud of this scenic coastal path. The land for the walkway was donated to the community by Josiah Chase Jr. in 1925.

5. Footbridge Beach

Experience all of Ogunquit’s beach beauty, with not many people, by visiting Footbridge Beach on the town’s northern edge. A favorite of watersports enthusiasts and families, the beach is one of the finest in the state, even the nation. Because it has only a medium-sized parking lot, the beach is not typically overcrowded.

A wooden boardwalk leading to a beach with people and surfboards.

6. Dock Square

To best appreciate the ambiance of Kennebunkport, visit Dock Square, an eclectic collection of historic fishing shacks that now house inviting art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. The renovated shacks sit on wharves that jut out over the Kennebunk River. Try to envision the bustling wharf in the 1800s, when it operated as a busy shipbuilding port. You’ll see evidence of the fine mansions built by sea captains; many of these are now stately inns.
