Description
Ogunquit is very popular with families. This area offers soft white sand, inviting surf and is considered one of the best 3.5 miles of peninsula coastline in the country. The northern end is called Footbridge Beach because beachgoers traverse a small bridge to reach it.. The southern end is named Ogunquit Beach.

It’s easily accessible to pedestrians via a trolley which runs through town every 15 - 20 minutes. Much of Ogunquit remains undeveloped, separated from the mainland by a river. This creates a natural barrier beach with protected inner sandbar - the perfect safe zone for younger kids.

Facilities here include public restrooms and concessions. Lifeguards are also on duty in-season. Parking at the beach lot here requires a daily fee.
