OGUNQUIT - KENNEBUNKPORT, YORK COUNTY, ME

To experience Maine's true charm visit The Kennebunks. They are just a short drive from several major airports: 90 minutes north from the Logan Airport in Boston, MA and from the Manchester Airport in NH and 30 minutes south of the Portland Jetport in ME. Amtrak now offers service from Boston to their door step in Wells.

In the beautiful coastal villages - Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise, Goose Rocks Beach and Arundel - you'll breathe in the beauty of the Maine coast along with the bracing salt air.

Ogunquit, which means "beautiful place by the sea" in the indigenous Abenaki language, was first a village within Wells, which was settled in 1641. It has become a popular art colony and tourist area. To accommodate summer crowds, several seaside hotels and inns were built. Marginal Way, a scenic trail, runs along the coast from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit Beach. Ogunquit separated from Wells in 1980 and receives visitors from as far as Australia. Part of Stephen King's The Stand, published in 1978, is set in Ogunquit.
