Sun, Sea & Summer Moments at Anchorage by the Sea
There is nothing quite like summer in Ogunquit—sunny beach days, oceanfront dining, scenic coastal walks and evenings filled with live entertainment. At Anchorage by the Sea, it is all right outside your door.
Overlooking the Atlantic and offering direct access to Marginal Way, the resort places you close to Ogunquit’s most iconic summer experiences. Here are the best ways to enjoy your coastal escape.
Wake Up to the Ocean
Begin your morning with fresh sea air and beautiful waterfront views. Grab a coffee, settle into an Adirondack chair and watch the waves roll against Maine’s rocky shoreline.
The resort grounds are especially photogenic during sunrise and golden hour, when the softer light makes the ocean sparkle.
Walk the Marginal Way
Step directly from the resort onto the Marginal Way, Ogunquit’s famous 1.25-mile coastal path. Wander past rocky cliffs, hidden coves and unforgettable Atlantic views as you make your way toward Perkins Cove.
Stop at one of the scenic benches, take in the salty breeze and capture a classic Maine photo with the ocean behind you. Morning is ideal for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Spend the Day at Ogunquit Beach
Just half a mile from the resort, Ogunquit Beach offers miles of soft sand for swimming, sunbathing and long shoreline walks. Pack your favorite beach read, build sandcastles with the family or simply relax beside the water.
For a picture-perfect moment, visit early in the morning or as the sky begins to turn golden in the evening.
Relax Beside the Pool
Prefer to stay close? Anchorage by the Sea features heated indoor and outdoor pools, an outdoor hot tub and a sauna. Claim a poolside chair, take a refreshing swim and let your afternoon unfold at an easy coastal pace.

Gather Around the Fire

It is a simple but unforgettable way to end a summer day in Maine.
