Anyone who’s spent time living in the northeast knows you long for summer days spent relaxing by the frigid Atlantic Ocean. Few places capture that idyllic New England charm like Ogunquit, ME — with its miles of beaches, thriving arts scene + taste for seafood. It’s no wonder that this destination has been lauded as one of the best beach towns you’ve never heard of.
  • Why go: Ogunquit wouldn’t be a beach town without its three miles of beaches, whether you wave hello to Main, Footbridge, or North beaches. Come prepared to spend the day with family — Ogunquit has been named one of New England’s best family beaches.
  • Food: Seafood is a must, and you butter get some lobster — Ogunquit Beach Lobster House is always a great option.
  • Vrbo: Bring the family to this Cottage Street home and stay at this 3 BD, 1 BA home in the heart of Ogunquit Center that’s a 12-minute walk to the beach. (~$399/night)*

  • Two words: free bowling. Sign up for Kids Bowl Free to connect with local bowling alleys where kids can receive two free games of bowling everyday this summer. Plus, grab a Family Pass + up to four adults can join in on the fun.
Drink
  • An electric wine opener is one of those inexpensive kitchen gadgets that you don’t know how you lived without once you get one. We especially love this one for its sleek design and ergonomic grip. To upgrade your wine even further, this set includes an automatic wine aerator and reusable vacuum stopper.
