It's great to arise in the very early morning and walk from your motel or guesthouse along the Way to Perkin's Cove. Seagulls hover, the air is sweet with the aroma of wild roses, and the ebb and flow of the sea is at your feet. At the end of your walk, a grand breakfast, alfresco, awaits you at Jackies Too, a charming eatery with a very large patio right on the shore. The light reflected from the water is brilliant, and the morning sun is already hot enough that you welcome the shade of the canopy. The trolley drivers call out each stop, which can include favored restaurants, shopping areas, and even the larger hotels.
Parking is costly and hard to find.
Only the local bloods drive in this town, doing the usual small-town cruise in the evenings. Ogunquit Beach, the other star attraction, is the terminus of each trolley route, featuring breakers large enough for surfing, hard-packed sand ideal for jogging and walking, and miles of beach to accommodate the largest crowds. Strangely enough, true windsurfing does not appear to be a popular sport here. All photos are Copyright Mike Goldstein.
