The town is bordered on the ocean by a 3 ½ mile stretch of pristine white beach sand, shielded from the Ogunquit River by protected sand dunes. The Marginal Way is an outstanding and thrilling 1 ¼ mile long winding footpath along the rock-bound coastline that joins the village center to the harbor. The picturesque waterfront of Perkins Cove is home to fishing and pleasure boats and has one of the only draw-footbridges in the country spanning its entrance. The famous Ogunquit Playhouse is one of the few remaining summer stock theaters in the country.
