– “Allow” your husband to beat you (not by much!) at mini golf or try your hand at Skee-Ball at Wonder Mountain (in neighboring Wells)
– Stay at the Pink Blossoms, one of the most conveniently located (and adorable) hotels along Shore Road (with a great tennis court and a heated pool).
– Sing show tunes around the piano until late into the night at The Front Porch (Kendrick’s been known to break out “Bohemian Rhapsody” when the mood hits him)
– Take a stroll on Marginal Way at sunset, ending up at Billy’s for lobster rolls, of course
– Snag a sexy sailor-mermaid Christmas tree ornament from one of the shops lining Shore Road
– Down summer ales and steamers while gazing out at the water from the porch of Splash, which overlooks the main beach area
– Stop into Swamp John’s for an apres-dinner, nautical-themed jewelry purchase
– Borrow a beach read or check out the art collection at the Ogunquit Memorial Library (this was my #1 hangout in town from ages 6-12)
– Stop into Perkins Cove Candies for some milk chocolate turtles and salt water taffy (you can also order online)
– Go deep-sea fishing (or, if you’re me, snag every single person on the boat’s line in yours and catch zip) aboard the Ugly Anne
– Stroll the grounds before dinner at Clay Hill Farm
– Pick out delicious bath products to bring a little bit of the seashore back home at H&M Crumpet
– Check out what’s playing at the Leavitt Fine Arts Theatre, where the chairs are vintage leather and a “large” popcorn is actually something you can eat in one sitting.
