The bridge is beautiful and was fun to cross and enjoy the "wiggle". We were surprised by the beautiful hike through the woods afterward. Very peaceful and lovely and an easy hike in a circle that took us right back to the bridge.

This oft-photographed lighthouse was built in 1879 on a tiny, off-shore island, or 'nubble,' in York. It features a Victorian keeper's house with gingerbread trim and a lantern with miniature cast-iron lighthouses on its railing. It's so close to land you can view it easily from York's seaside Sohier Park.

Lovely walk which is paved. Don’t miss the small park at the start of the cliff walk. This walk overlooks the ocean. Sun and shade along the path.

Gorgeous paved walkway with flowers and 39 benches from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit, and vice versa, about a mile long. The walkway is a bit narrow so be sure to bring a mask if Covid-19 is still a thing when you visit. It’s also mostly in the sun. We parked in the paid parking lot in Perkins Cove ($4 an hour, max. 3 hours), walked to Ogunquit, visited mostly all of the shops, walked back, and ate lunch at Jackie’s Too Restaurant. There is a public parking lot at the other end near the Ogunquit Police Station that you can park in as well.

Walk in and you can feel the music that’s played over 100 years in this building. Everything from Jazz, to Blues, to Rock and Roll has vibrated across the dance floor and moved people to boogie. Move closer to the kitchen and you smell the award winning food, hear the clinks of friends saying hi and people cheering summer. This is the place to be in York Beach in Maine, with friends, family, and staff working together to make your visit the best.
