One of coastal Maine's many charming waterfront areas, Perkins Cove evolved thanks to the efforts of local fishermen who wanted to protect their boats. The cove is a conglomeration of what were once a separate river and inlet; after fishermen constructed a canal, erosion created the body of water in place today. You can explore the seaside and its host of dunes and beaches, as well as the town of Ogunquit, a former artists' colony home to shops, studios, and eateries. Be sure to try some fresh lobster, a regional specialty, from the restaurants around the cove. Discover how to plan a Ogunquit trip in just a few steps with Inspirock's itinerary builder.

Nice place, especially if you are stayng nearby. But not too many open shops, etc. Parking is a ripoff, and required, as there is no street parking, so plan accordingly.

Beautiful but EXPENSIVE. The views are amazing, the parking is pricey and so is the food. I love that the lobsters are boat to restaurants. 32 dollars for a lobster roll, insane!
