Perkin’s Cove in Ogunquit Maine is one of our favorite places to visit. We have visited almost every year for many years. We have stayed at different places there for two to three days at a time, but our favorite place to stay is Auberge on the Cove. It is beautiful, well cared for and right on the cove with a gorgeous view of the water, boats in the cove and also the ocean.
We celebrated my husband John’s birthday. He is still as handsome and wonderful as ever! I am a lucky woman and feel blessed to have him.
Here are some photos of the place inside the main office with the adorable clerk. It has a homey feel to it with coffee and tea from 7-11 am each morning. There is also a coffee pot in each room.
Inside our room and the outside
Of course I have many more photos to share with you of our lovely trip. There are a few restaurants in the cove with plenty of shopping to do. I purchase a sweatshirt every year for the past few years. We also love the shop Revelations in the town which looks like a little chapel with tons of wonderful things to buy. We purchased some window butterflies that stick on with suction cups.
This is Barnacle Billy’s and the first smiling face is Aaron. Wonderful food and ice cream too!! My favorite were clams, crab roll or lobster rolls, rum punch, and Death by Chocolate for ice cream!
Two mornings we went to breakfast at Egg and I where we met lovely waiters and waitresses and had some delicious food! The pancakes were fantastic with the strawberry butter. I don’t use syrup and loved the butter, fruit and whipped cream! Yum! It wasn’t too far from the Cove to travel to either.
The first three photos are of Barack’s Billy’s for lunch with their out of this world rum punches! I had one each day while we were there. The rest are from John’s birthday dinner – lobster and steamers at Oarweed! Fabulous time!
To walk off all this food we did two trips on the Marginal Way (a mile each way) – one each day. The first day was warm with 68-70 temps. The following day was much cooler in the low 60’s and the ocean was incredible to photograph as you can see in the pics that follow. The calm ones are of the low tide and the others from the second day with high tide and rough seas. We were supposed to take a boat right to Nubble Lighthouse but it was not available due to the high seas.
On our walk I met Ron who is a local artist working on his latest painting. The weather was perfect this day for this with clear blue skies and calm seas.
As you can see, the seas were high and the wind had picked up with cooler temps but it was still beautiful. I snapped some great photos of the water hitting the rocks and spraying. I loved it! There were plenty of all kinds of dogs everywhere on the walk. I snapped these two cuties with their fishy coats.
Some night views of the Cove.
Touches of Halloween and plenty of flowers added more beauty to the area.
Some selfies along our walk on Marginal Way!
Here are some flowers along our walk and taking a rest every so often with the birthday boy being featured here! Haha!
There was an enormous chestnut tree on the property of Auberge on the Cove. We picked up some of the chestnuts and brought them home to enjoy later.
Here is one of the butterflies I purchased at Relevations store.
All in all it was a wonderful trip and birthday celebration for John. He deserved a special day. I look forward to doing this again next year!
If you haven’t visited Perkin’s Cove you must take a trip here. It has breathtaking views on Marginal Way, delicious food at the restaurants and rum punches at Barnacle Billy’s with plenty of shopping at the shops in the cove and in town close by.
