If you are heading to Maine, take a bit of time to visit Ogunquit, found on the southern coast of Maine. Lying between the Ogunquit River and the Atlantic Ocean, Ogunquit Beach is a long, sandy peninsula with grassy dunes. There are also cliff walks with coastal view
While in town, take some time to look up the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. I visited with a friend on an overcast and damp{ish} day. The art is unique and interesting, the gardens are beautiful, and the view over the bay stunning. The grass was a little waterlogged but we continued on through the gardens. Here is my 30 minutes of the exterior visit the Ogunquit Museum.
Henry Strater was the founder of this art gallery in 1953. This art gallery houses over 3000 pieces of artwork – prints, photographs, paintings, drawings and sculptures.
Current exhibits at the time of writing this blog include Kathleen Speranza, Emily Nelligan, Jo Sandman and Charles Woodbury, along with Art’s Ball: Wood Gaylor and American Modernism, The View from Narrow Cove, Bicentennial Ogunquit, and Light Southerly: Henry Strater in Verde Valley.
If you are planning on visiting the Museum, remember that it is closed for the season. Open hours are Daily, 10am – 5pm from May 1st to October 31st.
Also make sure to check out the website for their photography policy
We did meander through the interior of the museum before heading on to our next destination, Nubble Lighthouse. Sadly the Lighthouse was under construction and was covered in green cladding preventing us from actually seeing the beauty of the lighthouse. It was also raining and out stay there was not long.

What an interesting and beautiful place! I’ll have to remember that it’s only open certain times of the year. I’ll bet the inside is just as intriguing!

Thank you Janet – Definitely worth going there. The inside was interesting as well, but we spent less time inside as the day was getting away from us. We headed down to Portsmouth for lunch.
