Ogunquit, ME

A wonderful day trip to Ogunquit, Maine.
The beach, friends, and of course ... the food !

Ogunquit, which meant "coastal lagoon" to native Abenaki Indians, was first a village within Wells, which was settled in 1641. The first sawmill here was established in 1686, and shipbuilding developed along the tidal Ogunquit River. Besides constructing schooners and brigs, local shipwrights built the famous "Ogunquit dory."


















A fun filled day !

  1. Hello Michael O! This is Jean Mooney. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Isn't that lighthouse in Wells, Maine. I really thought this was a professional advertisement for Ogunquit until I saw the lighthouse. I am going to look at the rest of your travels and photos now. : )
