Ogunquit and Perkins Cove

Explore Ogunquit’s Perkins Cove, a charming harbor adorned with lobster and pleasure boats, and one of the most photogenic spots along Maine's coast. Perkins Cove marks the beginning of the scenic Marginal Way, a 1.25-mile paved coastal walkway that offers stunning views and numerous benches where you can pause and take in the beauty of the Maine coastline. The path stretches from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit, showcasing breathtaking vistas along the way.

 

Ogunquit Playhouse Matinee

Enjoy a matinee performance at the Ogunquit Playhouse, a gem listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As one of the last remaining summer theatres from the Straw Hat Circuit—also known as Summer Stock—the Ogunquit Playhouse continues to deliver exceptional live musical theatre.

 

Show: Guys and Dolls

Often called Broadway’s perfect musical, this Tony Award-winner finds big-time high roller Sky Masterson gambling everything he’s got to make reluctant Salvation Army reformer Miss Sarah Brown fall in love with him. Featuring such memorable tunes as “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” “Luck Be a Lady,” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before.” Guys and Dolls is guaranteed to charm audiences of all ages.

For safety reasons, the vessel cannot accommodate walkers or wheelchairs. Additionally, staff are unable to physically assist passengers on or off the boat.
