This place is probably unique in the world for seldom have I seen such a beautiful walking path that flows among the rock formations of the seashore. A most relaxing place, anytime of year....and close to the main beach also.

Loved the views, the wonderful fragrance roses and the ease of walking along the coast. Well maintained with lots of benches to sit, relax, and take in the beauty of nature. We also enjoyed the flock of Cedar Wax Wings we spotted on the trail.

A must when in Ogunquit, the walk and scenic views were spectacular. Memorial Day weekend was a bit crowded because the weather was so perfect. It's better during the week when the crowds are not as bad and you can truly relax and take your time with the walk. Loved it!

Wonderful to walk and take breaks on the benches. They keep improving the Marginal Way every year.

We visited in early april, and it was all chopped up. Now, in late May, there is a fresh layer of asphalt, making it very smooth and stroller and even wheelchair friendly.

A beautiful walk overlooking the ocean and enjoyed lunch on the waterfront in Perkins Cover before returning to the hotel. Don't forget your camera!

The walk, about a mile in length, is on a promontory at seaside; great for all ages and physical abilities. It is scenic and secure; benches for resting and enjoying beautiful views and roaring surfs are plentiful and well placed.

This is a lovely spot and I thank the people of Maine for preserving it for all to use. You can take a leisurely stroll along the coast and enjoy the view. You stroll by restaurants, private homes, Inns, and it is a wonderful thing! There are benches along the way for a rest if you should need it. Bring... More
