Around Boston | This Peninsular Fishing Harbor in Maine Is Stunning 🦞

I checked out the town of Ogunquit in Maine, and I was totally blown away by Perkins Cove! It’s a tiny peninsula surrounded by the ocean on both sides—docked small boats, colorful little shops, and the salty sea breeze all come together to create the most perfect vibe 😍. ✨ Perkins Cove: A Postcard-Perfect Spot Right next to the cove is the Perkins Cove Drawbridge—a cool lift bridge that can raise and lower! Standing on the bridge to take in the harbor views feels like looking at a real-life postcard 📸. Below the bridge, calm seawater glistens, and small boats glide by—so soothing and peaceful. Every now and then, you might even get to see the bridge lift up to let larger ships pass through 🚢—it’s such a fun little sight to wait for! Wandering around the cove itself is a joy too. The colorful storefronts line the narrow paths—some sell cute souvenirs, others have handcrafted gifts—and the sound of waves gently hitting the shore is like background music. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, stroll aimlessly, and just soak up the coastal charm 🌅. 🦞 Must-Try: The Lobster Shack If you’re here, you can’t miss The Lobster Shack near the harbor—it’s a local favorite for a reason! Their lobster roll is absolute perfection: the bread is a lightly toasted hot dog bun, stuffed with huge chunks of lobster meat. The meat is tender, sweet, and super fresh 🦞—you can taste the ocean in every bite! It’s served with a simple dollop of butter or mayo (take your pick!), and it’s exactly the fresh, summery seafood flavor you’d hope for by the coast. Trust me, one bite and you’ll be hooked 😋. 🚗 Travel Tips Location: Perkins Cove Rd, Ogunquit, ME 03907 Drive Time: It’s only about 1.5 hours from Boston—super easy for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway 🎉. Best For: Anyone who loves coastal towns, fresh seafood, or just wants a relaxing break from the city. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or even solo, this spot will make you feel calm and happy. #BostonLife #AroundBoston #BostonWeekend #Maine #CoastalGetaway #SummerTravel
