It's a really nice walk with amazing views of the ocean and some awesome homes. The entrance to the marginal way is somewhat hidden. It's a smallish walkway... More

Everything except for the cars! MC's restaurant has fine cuisine, excellent wine and spectacular view! Seaglass jewelery boutique has the most unique jewelery made of quartz and mother of pearl!

Was just there over the weekend and was shocked that the stores were closed at 7 PM!! It was a Saturday night, the weather was great, so many people out strolling around, who would have been more than happy to spend money, if the stores were open.

Charming location, lots of little shops. We love the Lobster Shack, smack in the middle of Perkins Cove for lobster and steamers as well as the chowder. Access to the marginal way - a beautiful paved walk along the gorgeous rock strewn Maine coastline.

Area is interesting and beautiful. Resturants are nice with great views. Parking is very expensive and need more rest rooms. Shops can be expensive except for a few.
