Ogunquit means "beautiful place by the sea" in the language of the Native Americans who summered there in pre-Colonial times. Nestled on the southern Maine coast between York and Wells, Ogunquit has long appealed to artists for the beauty of its coastline. Artists discovered Ogunquit's inspirational scenery over a century ago, transforming the quaint fishing hamlet into one of the most picturesque and enjoyed seaside villages in all of Maine, and even New England. A wide array of art galleries, antique shops, fine restaurants, world-class beaches, and the magnificent coastline attract visitors from around the globe.
