As of 2018, Ogunquit didn’t even hit the 1,000 inhabitants mark. It is a small town in southern Maine, not far from the border of New Hampshire. Its name comes from the Indigenous Abenaki language. It means “beautiful place by the sea,” and it’s not hard to understand why. In fact, the town includes a stretch of sandy beach, Footbridge Beach, reached by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and voted as one of the best in New England. Despite its size, it features a couple of museums, a theatre, a deep, picturesque inlet, and cliffs that offer an advantageous viewpoint over the oceanic waters.
