Maine Attraction

Not a whole lot has changed about Ogunquit since we last visited when we
were just a kid. But if it aint broke, dont fix it! We spent the last
week of summer on the coastal town in Maine, visiting old favourites and
finding new ones.

stay
Most hotels in Ogunquit offer simple, beachy
motel-esque accommodations, but if its a view you want, head to the Beachmere
Inn. The oceanfront property offers rolling lawns adjacent to the
Marginal Way, as well as a wide array of room types and amenities
(including yoga on the lawn!) to fit your every need. Beachmere Inn, 62
Beachmere Place Ogunquit, ME, 1-800-336-3983, www.beachmereinn.com

do
The Ogunquit
Playhouse will be celebrating its 80th birthday next season, but the
party has started already with this years lineup of shows including Avenue
Q and Legally Blonde: The Musical, with guest star Sally
Struthers, playing until September 17 (Miss Saigon starts soon
after!). Ogunquit Playhouse, 10 Main Street, Ogunquit, ME, 207-646-5511, www.ogunquitplayhouse.org

dine
Roadside lobster rolls and clam shacks abound,
but for the ultimate lobster experience head north to Wells to visit the Maine
Diner to gorge on the rich seafood chowder and decadent lobster pie
featured on the Food Networks Diners,
Drive-Ins and Dives. Maine Diner, 2265 Post Rd., Route One, Wells,
ME, 207-646-4441, www.mainediner.com

drink
The cosmopolitan is strong enough to knock you
off your feet, which is a good thing because youll need to get rid of
your inhibitions to thoroughly enjoy the round the piano show tune
sing-along that goes down nightly at The
Front Porch. The Front Porch, 9 Shore Rd., Ogunquit, ME,
207-646-4005, www.thefrontporch.net
