Ogunquit is popular with tourists
Hugged by miles of white-sand beaches, Ogunquit lives up to its name, which means "a beautiful place by the sea" in the indigenous Abenaki language. The community has a vintage appeal and its population hasn't changed much over the years either, jumping to just 1,598 in 2024 from 1,577 in 2020. "Not many people actually reside in Ogunquit because it's more taken over by tourists," says Jackie Roberts, a server at a local family-owned Mediterranean restaurant, The Front Yard. With an average snowfall of nearly 50 inches, it gets pretty cold here. Many restaurants close when the snowbirds head out for the winter. Then, when the sun returns, Ogunquit's beaches and quaint shopping areas are bustling again with waves of visitors and part-time neighbors.

Cliffside hikes along Marginal Way
Ogunquit's Marginal Way is a trail stretching over a mile along the rocky coast. Ogunquit Beach is accessible from the path and offers a wide-open space for sand volleyball, though it's often packed during the warmer months. North of Ogunquit Beach is Footbridge Beach. Considered a hidden gem by locals, it's less touristy than others. The inland Ogunquit Dog Park offers plenty of space for furry friends to roam. Cape Neddick Country Club provides a private course.

A 1930s charm in Ogunquit
Craftsmans, Cape Cods, Victorians and custom builds create Ogunquit's architectural fabric. Properties trace back as early as 1910, and while new construction is rare, it's still available, often modeling a rustic farmhouse or New England look. "They have certain regulations where older buildings can't be torn down," says Realtor George Wilson of Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based Aland Realty. "It still looks like it did in 1935." Lot sizes here are spacious, even close to the coast, with homes resting on a quarter of an acre to over 2 acres or more. Properties a short walk to the ocean can go for around $900,000 to over $4 million and sometimes even above $7 million. Homes farther inland also rise to over $1 million but start in the $500,000s. Crime is below average here, by national standards, at 2 out of 10 versus 4 out of 10 on the CAP Index Crime Score.
