The bridge has some “give” to it (nothing too nauseating) and spans just 300 feet. Maine’s fall foliage is especially stunning from this viewpoint.

Leg 7 (10g)   Cape Elizabeth, ME 9-Oct-25     Ogunquit, ME 9-Oct-25     1 hour, 22 minutes (47 Miles)
Kennebunkport   Kennebunkport, ME 9-Oct-25     Kennebunkport, ME 9-Oct-25     Drive on Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport to see the large houses.
Ogunquit Marginal Way Ogunquit, ME 9-Oct-25     Ogunquit, ME 9-Oct-25     Enjoy an ocean-side walk with plenty of opportunities to sit and take in the gorgeous view. Only 1.25 miles long, the cliff walk wends its way starting at one end near The Sparhawk Oceanfront Resort on Shore Road and brings you along a paved path, past stately hotels and inns, and rocky beaches to Perkins Cove.

There are 39 benches located at ideal viewing spots all along the path. Admire the little lighthouse overlooking Ogunquit Beach, enjoy watching sailboats pass by or step off the path to explore a beach or rocky cove.

Once you reach Perkins Cove, you can watch the lobster boats come in and maybe pick up today’s catch for dinner or grab some take out from one of the many restaurants nestled along this tiny harbor.

One of the best things about Marginal Way is that the walk is so short, you are happy to turn around and do it all over again. Maybe time it so you can catch the sun as it sets to the west or head out early enough in the morning to enjoy the sun rise over the ocean.
