Cliff Walk | River's world…..

This is the quintessential Maine coastline for scenic photography….

And selfies.

It is also one seriously beautiful stroll.

With lots of access points to the beach below.

If you’re willing to take the risk.

Did I mention there were rocks? Over a mile of glorious rock filled shore.

And a few weirdos up on the trail.

This is a wild beach rose, they’re everywhere along the Maine coast and the cliff walk is lined with them. It must be wonderful when they’re in full bloom, but we were a tad early and only saw a few here and there.

I could have easily plopped myself down on one these benches and spent the entire day.

The mini lighthouse pops up out of nowhere…

And the rocks?

They soothe my soul.

To be continued…

Make sure it’s the Ogunquit Cliff Walk. There’s no better way to leisurely experience the Maine coast and you’ll get some exercise to boot. A definite win win.

The 1.25 mile walk starts alongside a waterfront hotel with pristine fencing and gardens.

Turn the corner, and the Atlantic Ocean beckons.

Maine isn’t known for large resorts, we’re more of a bed and breakfast state, but the Anchorage By the Sea is well named.

You can’t get much closer to the ocean than that.

Most of Maine’s beaches are rocky, but Wells… the neighboring town… has plenty of sand.

The Cliff Walk is fully paved and easy to traverse…. and did I mention there are rocks?

When you marry a billy goat like my husband, rocks are never left unexplored.

I can’t say enough good things about the beauty of this place and it’s hardly a surprise Ogunquit was an artist colony at the turn of the 20th century.
